mondeo wheels look the same but dont have as much dish - 16x7/6.5 with et 40ish

as its a ford compomotive mo's look good () they come in various sizes and offsets to fit anything and theres 4 varients, old 5 or 6 spoke and new 5 and 6 spoke

Have sanded them all down, refurbed the one with no tyre on. Others are okay. Good tyres on them.

4x108 is the stud pattern. no lower than 30 or higher than 40 would be good, but escos wheels are commonly used that are et25, they just need a 195 tyre instead of 225

but any offset can be used with the right stretch and enough camber (damm vw magazines getting me into that stuff )
