Default HELP REQUIRED TO CHOOSE ESCOS RIMS

I'm currently looking for a new set of rims for my escort cossie and need your help please PF'ers.

I want a set of 8x18 rims probably in white, able to fit AP 330's and with the correct offset. (not asking much )

I am thinking of Comp MO's but REALLY love the Raceline RL7's. I know these are now difficult to get hold of, but was also told they redesigned them. Any one got any pics?

I've got a pacifica blue cossie (as below) and was wondering if you lot could post some pics of your cars alloys to help me decide?

Decisions decisions

Thanks in advance peoples!

Don't do Anthracite on a Dark car, I'm not keen on dark coloured wheels in the slightest!

The re-designed RL7's sound nice, and defo in White mate! HTH

Cheers Dan, I agree with you mate.......prefer white wheels.

I've done a number of searches and can't find these new Racelines damn it.....anyone please?

Is the Escos limited to just 3 wheels...Rondells, MO's and RL7's

Thx

Easy Kelvin,

Thanks for the pics mate........I want your wheels!!!!!!

Your motors looking wicked, and I hear you've got some serious mods now. Spring is nearly here so I'll will more than likely see you out and about soon.

Cheers

Azrael, Sorry mate, ive got no idea what sizes are available, if you can even get them any more!

C COS, havent seen you for ages Costas, think you do definetly need to change those wheels for RL7's, i know Spadge has got a set for sale so could be worth making contact there.

Car has changed a fair bit since you last saw it, hopefully it will be coming together pretty soon, getting bored now

Smit, Sorry, thats the only pic i took when Dave had my wheels on, should have got more.

It got various mixed opinions when they were on, i liked it with them

The look of the escort cos with those white rims is awesome. The look of the Es Cos is definately growing on me as I have never been a huge fan, always a sierra man.

Which-ever wheel you go for you really need to chose one that is currently (and likely to remain) in production, otherwise you will have a complete 'mare in replacing one should you damage it...

In my mind this excludes RL7s / Super Ts etc.

I love those RL7's big time, but those gold MO's look fooking wicked aswell!!!!

Gonna have to check out some more pix i think, but MO's are probably the cheapest/safest option to take.

I'll get some piccies up when i get the new rims on........if i ever decide.

Thanks for all your help Pf'ers

Kelvin............car will be back on the road in March/April...so I'll be out and about again soon. Have to give ya a race again......see you kick my ass!!!!!!

Evening Michelle,

I heard on the grapevine that Lee was selling his Saph and going over to the darkside

18" MO's, he's defo made the right choice.

Kel......I'm not to keen on Rondells, but I know a Monte man who is.......and he's calling him as i write this
