Default Comp CXT's

right then guys, i have managed to get my hands on some comp CXT's

what are the opinions on these? they seem to be a bit of a marmite wheel, some photos they look awesome, in others pretty gash

just taking a quick poll to see what people think of them

please vote

p.s. mine are 18's on a FRS

Ive got the CXR's on my Fiesta, not overly keen on the looks but they are very light and could be made to order with the correct offset and dedicated spigot size so no plastic spigot rings needed.



In my opinion the only wheels that really work on the Mk1 FRS are the std wheels and OZ "Monte" wheels.

yes those are the ones, whore wheels , more owners than i've had hot dinners and only a few months old.

will get em on the focus and post up some pics for all to enjoy.

i've alwsy kinda liked the look of them, but agree they are a bit venomy, saw them on martoons escort and theough they looked the nuts, considered anthracite but on imperial blue, silver looks best

i did consider these, but as my friend pointed out, it will look like you spent £1200 on big hubcaps

it is hard to find wheels that suit the FRS, MO's have been done and most other wheels available in 4 x108 are halfords tastic!

I really love this Focus! It's so refreshing to see someone doing it differently and using some WIDTH and offset, as opposed to the usual 8x18 comps - don't roll my mint untouched arches PISH...

Applause for Dicko!

Look like bbs ch copy's to me (I think that's what there called), some cars look ok with them and some dont, certainly don't think there the nicest wheels out there. But it's all about if you like them or not

Loads do...and go to the trouble of trying to track down old wheels with more flat spots on them than a hexagon.

I don't mind either wheel, but if it was a choice of second hand, heavy, soft TSW's....or new, light and solid Comps, it's a no brainer

Nice wheels, i do like them, but i think dicko's wheels are the perfect wheels for an FRS, having see it in the flesh a couple of times, they look even better than they do in pics
