If i bought an Escos, i'd pay the money.



As 18's go, they look the bollox.

Seen them on a Saph, dont go IMO. Never seen them on a 3 door.

They are aftermarket but made from a genuine Ford mould, altered to make them 18's.

My fav 18 for an Escos, but not on a Saph, looks way out of place IMO.

But hey, Wheels is always a personal thing. Folks rarely agree lol.

if anyone wants some nice genuine original escort cosworth alloys that are not refurbed or crap wheels made to look ok and with proper fitting centre caps i have some in the cozzie section i fink.
they do look good on old sierras and if they don't sell i don't give a shite cos i'll keep them along with the rest of my goodies for when i inevitably buy another sierra cos.
