So what you think gents, stick with the big wheels, or change to the others ?

try this mate i know it works because i have done it.
take the wheels in the last picture and cut the inside design out , then take the original cossie rim and hold it behind this rim and you will have a deep dish cossie rim!
all you have to do then is grind down the cossie rim to fit!!!
this will give you a rim like the ones you were after in the post by jason nike !
hope this helps

Craig i just remember i have the chrome wheels that you have on the white sierra on my mk2 escort 1600 sport but i painted the middle part orange to match the car.
what about doing them white to match your's mate just an idea.
both set of wheels look very smart i would keep the black/chrome wheels on the black sierra

red
orange
yellow
lime green
black
white
silver
dark grey
light blue
pink
purple/violet

can also get
ginger
gold
bronze
neon pink
neon green
neon yellow

mentalist dave is having half of the order but there will be enough of ecery colour i have ordered apart from black as the other half of the black is for me there will be enough in each bag to do 2 full interiors so there is enough of everything in the first list to do a full interior so if anyone would like a bag of a colour other than black let me know they will be Ł1.25 a bag posted cheers

here is some samples all i could find







dont laugh at the pics there all i can find to give people an idea of what it looks like and some of the colours it will leave a feel like the aa intriors but may need trimming to be exact
