I have always had a little love hate relationship with the Voodoo IIs that are on the car... I have a set of standard 16v alloys in near perfect condition but also have a set of the Escort GTi alloys in mi cellar that need a bit of sorting (had some on the car before and they do really suit it).. have been toying with getting them done and wacking the tyres off the Voodoos. My partner got run into a "few" kerbs with them anyway and they are a bit scuffed at the front.
