Mk5 RS2000 wheels would be the obvious choice. Escort gti or mondeo cossie reps or 15/17" softlines

cheers for the ideas guys, more than likey looking at 16s or 17s, on my last mk5 I had escort cossie wheels which did look good but with it being lowered it made the handling interesting, (mind you I think it was dropped 60mm so it might of have something to do with the bad handling). Im looking at dropping it 30mm or so as the roads round here are a lot worse than they where.
Its a local car that was on ebay with only two owners and 94k on the clock.

keep clear of escos wheels as on normal escorts they look crap, RS7 softspokes for sure as RS7 diamond cuts suit saphs and RST S1s more unless you get the far rarer 16" version which are like hens teeth
