The wheels are without a doubt are very high quality, but in scale terms the tyres look very small (almost as though its on its rims without tyres !) the yellow escort at the top looks superb , but needs higher profile tyres..just my opinion..maybe something like this ....

the tyres we supply are low profile but the original tyres from your escort rims will fit giving you the tyre profile you are after.
in pic below are low profile tyres supplied on front and the original mk2 tyres that come with the model.

you can see why we supply them with low profiles as the person buying them already will have the standard tyres so it gives u the option of whatever you prefer.

How's the weather where you lads?,bright sunshine here ideal for you to spray
Still no model from Alangti
Like the look of the Rs rims with the different profile tyres but i think the ones they come with give the Escort's a meaner stance
