I would really like one to put in my mk6 runabout.

Anyone know what, where, and how much?

Your input would be much appreciated

Thanks very much and Happy Christmas

It was part of the RS options lists as far as i am aware.

Was never standard though in any ford car

Also a 3 spoke version available but thats even rarer

Thanks Guys,

Asking a dumb question, but are they available?

Anyone seen them crop up on here?

Loads more of the old style 4 spoke badboys knocking around, but that's a bit tooo old school for my Mk6 runabout!

Thanks lads

I had a brand new boxed one of these last year I was wanting to put on my escos but as mine has an airbag there isnt a boss available to fit it, so i suspect this will also be the case with a mk6 escort if it is also fitted with an airbag, you can get round it buy changing the top half of the colum and ign housing for one from a non airbag model so I was told but i just ended up selling it for alot more than I payed lol, they are a very nice wheel.

I checked with Ford, and the earlier Mk5 non airbag cars use the same column as the mk6, and also the Mk3 Fez, so I suppose I have options. You can get small resistors to put the airbag light off?

Paul how much did you get for it? I am too late, as usual!!

CSM, I thought it was a later wheel, but longdog has just disproved that! Sweet brochure man!

Cheers lads
