Ah Jim...i don't like them mate
They looked nice on the Escos Forum on the Escorts, i just not think they suit a saph & i love that wheel
Maybe they need the decals on them.
Sorry dude....love everything so far.

That's alright mate everyone has different taste, I'll be honest I thought the same when they were sat in the boxes and was a little worried but now with tyres on and fitted I'm so so happy, I think the decals will make them look better again too!
And they're different!

Cheers boys!
Know what you mean dave but with the orange indicators etc I wanted standard colour, I'm not too keen on dark wheels on white cars either, some look good, but this colour really shows off the wheel design
