What wheels on your saff?
I'm putting my 18in comps onto the focus and going back to 17's on my saff. Lets see your wheels as I don't know what to get, I would ideally like some 17x8's but may be swayed by something else or even old school

Doesn't matter dude cos your car looks sweet
is that mercury grey? How do you find it drives on the 18's? Mine tends to wander about a bit unless I'm on a nice smooth road and there's not many of them in Norfolk

that's what i'm running on my mk2 Sierra, just bought them the other week too.
How much are you looking at spending on a set? I was offered a few sets (both 7.5 and 8" wide) for anywhere between Ł300 and Ł500 with tyres.
Got my set complete with all parts a few weeks ago, in good condition with 4 legal tyres - Ł90. They don't seem to be worth as much as what people are trying to flog them for.
PS. i'm not parting with my set

Ha cheers pal
its a moonstone. Im yet to drive it on these wheels as theres no engine in her yet
But the last 18 inch wheels on this saph drove fine even with gaz coil-overs. the profile on these comps are a pathetic 35 so will have to wait and see how bumpy it rides lol

I liked the evo's too but because they were only 17x7 they were to narrow and sat in the arches too much.
I'm happy with it on the 18 inch comps. Can't go smaller either or won't cover the brakes

Got these 17x8 imolas on mine which are for sale, but not for Ł90
I want the 18" foss (fmv's pictured above) or monte reps when funds allow.

Like all the different wheels in the pics, good to have variety and choice
Happy with the 18s on mine, drives as good as 17s if not better
RS7s I had for many years
And now the current 18s

A lot depends on the colour of the car I think, I have stupidly gone and bought another saph which is white, it will 100% get gold comps, that's quite far down the list though as it needs quite a bit of work.
