Flat faced 8x17 Comps worth remaking again???
I'm thinking off having a load of 8x17 Flat faced MO's made, they will look like the picture below.. Any Sierra owners reckon that's a good idea??

Just a personal thing..........But never one of my favorites.
RL7's I suspect always outsold them.
Try Hockenheims............I think they'd sell out in no time at all.

I've always wondered why RL7's dont get remade?!
I do love the flat faced MO though, What size is it with the lip, Think dingy has a set?

I'd be more inclined on getting the old style Mo's made Martin! (like my old ones!)
You'd sell loads!

10000% agree with that.
They suit every ford! I reckon that would be one of the biggest sellers Compomotive have ever made?

a couple of et25 for the front of mine. currently got et33 and spacers but i dont like spacers.. was going to get my spare et15's machined instead but would obviously rather buy proper offset wheels
