evening yall

grabbed a cheeky hour eairler today to have the tyres fitted to the rear wheels ,and a correct sized tyre for the front fitted for mock up

so , there 18x9j rears and 18x8 fronts

tyres are 255-35-18 rears and 225-35-18-fronts



some pics





there falken fk 452's

and knowing brammer and a few of the lads were itching for pics of them on car ,

i couldnt resisit --- tissues at the ready ???


































rears were leaning in on the pic , tried to pack up inside of tyre , ( didnt want to go too far and risk it fallin out )







now , showed these to anne marie , she thinks they dont suit the black , poss anthracite ?

and im 50 - 50 on the silver lip at, poss thinking semi gloss black full rim


either way i think wheel choice ( wich i picked from day 1 lol ) is bang on !!!!!


try n play with the diff tomorrow if i get a free hour from the bab , and pod sunday !!!!!!!

I do like the lip, flows with the arch line, but agree that anthracite may be more suited.

Stunning work mind, will be lovely to see it rolling and out in the sunshine!

Agree with Al, a bit more girth on the rear, and it'll look spot on.

Love the wheels but hate the colour against your car, it may just be the lip but I think such a nice car they need to be anthracite and lose the lip.

Wow,at last a proper set of rims on an escort rather than TSW hocks(just don't get the obsession with those wheels!!!).

They look ace,anthracite or at least a gloss finish would make them just outstanding IMO.

I would wait untill the side graphics are on as that will darken up the bottom half of the car, which may help the wheels blend in more. If not anthracite or body colour with the polished lip would be my choice.
