I've waited 21 years to own an Escort Cosworth with 18" Monte's, the stickers would be ace but I'm like a dog with two cocks either way!

Visually it's very different to my 17" ones. I think the profile on yours looks better.

Mine is a full curved radius towards the centre, and the rim spokes on mine are thinner

Although it's a bugger now as if they're all like that, I cant buy 2 more as they'll look different to my existing ones LOL

Ok, so contrary to popular belief, Compomotive never went out of business nor did the company close down, what happened was that the foundry they used to forge their wheels closed which as a wheel manufacturer can cause an issue lol, they have subsequently restarted production on a limited number of their more sought after wheels from new foundrys and they stress that at no stage did Compomotive 'go bust'

Anybody interested in buying a set of these, or any other Comp wheels please feel free to contact me as I am in the process of becoming a stockist-supplier down here in the South West, this also means you don't HAVE to deal with Reyland if you want these stunning wheels.
