colr6 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Black spokes with polished rim and spoke edges, think it highlights the deep dish more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notenoughtime Posted December 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 My only thought is do I need to keep them original black inserts was t fitted from factory only dove grey on the Mk2 Rs wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Unless your putting them on a X- pack, don't make any difference. Not original fitment to a boggo RS anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pack 2000 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I prefer black spoke highlights with the thinner 4 spokes but for the 7.5in it just seems to look meaner with the spokes all silver. Black almost makes the extra dish vanish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephens_xpack Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I think a lot depends on colour of car they going on, but if they not going on anything, hard to say really. These are mine, but they on a white car, and they have been like this forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 7's are the limit with std arches and then they need the lips rolled to accommodate? 7.5's need flared arches / wings but they do look the nutz if done right - really fill the arches well IMO.

colr6 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I sure a pic was put up maybe last year of two escorts on 71/2s, both cars had been modded very slightly to take them. Could be wrong but I'm sure the Loudboy put names on the cars. It's people start putting 175/50 tyres on it starts to look silly. Stretching a tyre to death does no good whatsoever for handling capabilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meXEco Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Here's one-even with stupid skinny tyres fitted they don't work-needs narrow axle on the rear and substantial geometry changes on the front to work in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
