Just picked the 8th set of wheels ive bought for the mondy in the last 16 month

Picture aint the greatest, and the car is absolutely filthy, but you get the idea

So opinions thank you please

Less.

look okay similar to Focus Rs wheels,look better silver imo

jghs83

change the colour to the same as your escos's but other than that they look good

Csm

Looks the best its ever looked Fidster

Carlos-Titx

Nice looking wheels, would change the colour though imo. Only down side is the breaks look small with them.

Fiddy

Cheers gents, i like the wheels black tbh.

And you reckon mills ?. gona have to get smaller tyres on the back like, there catching, got 225/40/18 on at the minute, when i had my old 18's running 215/35, never caught at all.

Fiddy

Brakes are to small mate, standard 276mm on the front

Carlos-Titx

Escort Cosworth or the 16" Si wheels look the nuts on Mondeo's.

No point in spending a shed load on bigger breaks to fit alloys if the power don't require them though.

May be get some 'spinner' hub caps to fill the gaps lol.

Fiddy

ive had both on it mate, sold my escos rims not long ago, becasue even running 195's with a stretch, they still caught on the back





And on the 16" mondeo rims

Jimmyc

Nicest set so far Fiddy, just needs a polish!

stuboy

coolio i like them...

Carlos-Titx

They look to small on it lol.

get the limited run of 18" cozzy wheels on there.

Fiddy

They would catch even more than the standard escos rims I had, plus, I don't fancy paying more for a set of rims, than the cars worth lol

Carlos-Titx

Yeah fair one lol.

Didn't realise how small the Si and Cosworth wheels look on a mondy.

The ones you have fitted now, may be a hi gloss dark silver? Just to have a different tone to the rest of the car so they stand out a bit more but still being subtle?

Gibbo87

that colour black only looks good on cars when theres tyre shine or gel on....make the tyres look dirty otherwise

BrianEscCos

Looks well hard fiddy, you must change rims more than tyres you could try a coloured rim bead or whatever they are called, I'm thinking orange ??

Fiddy

once i give it a clean and polish i think there gona be pretty much the same colour as the car

Fiddy

Cheers bri, maybe a red lip, the only colour on the car bar black is the ST badge, which has a red inlay

Fiddy

im spending all day tomorrow cleaning it for the all ford meet tomorrow, inside, outside, engine bay, wheels, tyres, the whole lot. be the first time ive got the autoglym and dodo juice out this year

Carlos-Titx

Like this ?






Very good look!

Fiddy

I know neil, but i will neither confirm, or deny, wether his car, is what gave me the idea, did i mention i fancy a red pin stripe aswel ?

Carlos-Titx

Before I bought the ST I had my perfect (dream) Cozzy. Black with red, this car is awesome!

Would love it to be mine!

Fiddy

Its for sale, Ł18k ono. he said he would let me have it if he did finance, but he doesnt, so im fooked

Carlos-Titx

I would love that car but to own one you would need to know what you are doing to fix etc, I dont. ST was another dream car, managed to buy one but modern enough not to have the reliability issues as a Cosworth (or the insurance!!!!)

Fiddy

Mate, he has spent that much time and money on it, its like a brand new car, it shouldnt need fixing anytime soon, that said, it is a cossie

Carlos-Titx

Thats what put me off buying one. Need a good daily runner. So my ST with 270 (at a guess now) does me perfect.

Fiddy

Just the ticket mate, an EsCos is most deffinatly not an everyday car, you couldnt park it anywhere without having a heart attack for a start.

Carlos-Titx

Exactly!

Any way, best get this back on track to your wheels lol. Sorry Fiddy.

Chaz888

very nice maybe silver flec lak on top? or a rim strip?

Fiddy

Its all good fella

The man from Scotland, he say yes!!

Much better mate, paint them up anthracite and you're onto a winner.


Cheers,
Grant

Fiddy

Cheers granty, its only took me 16 month to find some wheels you like


They will be getting painted mate, the fella i got them off, painted them himself, and hasnt done the best job, hence why i got them cheap. so gona buy some 215/35's for the back to stop it catching, and paint them, thats the plan anyway

RS Grant

iTrader: (1)

LOL @ Granty... seems that name's sticking, damn you Mohammed!!

Well I did like your car on Focus RS rims mate...... but that wasn't meant to be!! ...haha, these defo suit the 'deo and 18s are the right size for a MK2.


Cheers,
Grant

Had a bastard nightmare today, been non stop fucking around with the car since 11am. went and pumped the tyres up, washed it, and went to my mates to fit the wheels and polish it. realised my locking wheels nuts are fucked, so phoned glenny boy, he said he had a decent set i could buy, so set off to his house in darlington, wheels were ctaching worse than any wheels ive ever head/heard, went back to my mates where i fitted the wheels, got the angle grinder out, chopped the arch lip back, sanded, painted, and laqured the lip, then, on the way home, the fuckers are still catching on corners and big bumps, and i cant really take much more off the arch lip, so im gona have to buy some 215/35's. then to add insult to injury, after spending the best of part of two hours polishing it, properly, it absolutely pissed down on the way home .

I swear, somtimes, i dont even know why i like cars, especially shonky old fords. i eventually find the rite wheels for it, and there an absolute bastard nightmare.

Liverpool won 5-0 today, that hasnt even cheered me up, fuck fords

TBH Fiddy i think these are the best looking wheels you have had for this car.They just need repainting to freshin them up.

I love escos wheels but i just didnt think they looked right on your car.You know me fella i will tell you what i think of it.

Gibbo87
