the cosworth wheels sink in a lot deeper and the spokes are slightly wider.. the mondeo wheels are almost a flat wheel accept no imitations hahaha

thats what i had in mind as i hear youll have to mess around with the suspension etc with the cosworth ones as they will stick out to much hence why i was asking about the mondeo ones

Mate tried my brand new mondeo 5 spokes years ago on his saph cossie but they dont clear the front calipers enough ............. but his had previously had mondeo 5 spokes fitted to it and we didnt understand untill we put both wheels together to see that there was a very rare option as the accessory wheels upgrade on mondeos that you can get the same design but they were a 7jx16" (cant remember offset, but they just cleared front calipers by a baw hair lol) where as the normal mondeo wheel is 6.5jx16 et40

The rare wheel looked fantastic on the cossie he had just sadly 2 got badly bent , they also had a rare centre cap with the rs logo with blue stripes aswell, these were genuine and not just a halfords sticker stuck over the ford badge you normally see

i really like the look of the Accessory wheels, was looking for a set last year. You can't beat the Cossie ones though
