Splits all the way
I like the standard three door rims, but they're not quite big enough, and the splittes give a nod to the touring cars, so they're the ultimate choice

There was a thread a while ago showing a 17" wheel that looked just like the standard 3dr, only available from the states, it only came in 5 stud though so you would have to mod a set of hubs. I cannot find the thread though
edited - found the thread
https://passionford.com/forum/ford-s...inal-look.html
could be done if determined enough to have the original look
edited again
these splits look even nicer and come in the correct pcd
third edit
centre bore would have to be opened out for the Ford 62.5mm centres

Def split rims. Image are better than comp to deal with as well and cheaper. Would never sell my wheels.

i looked it to them , i wouldn't be able to get my AP 6 pot with 356's behind those wheels
that why i always stuck with the rl7 simply because of that
