Id go for the RS reps from midland.

i have the 7'' rs replicas from midland on my mk1 escort and they fit very well.my cars is quite low so the arches have been rolled a tiny bit but i have loads of room and can even take people in the back with out it rubbing.you dont get this kind of room with superlights.

mate, that looks the nuts

[mk1rob]

Ive also got the 7x13s from midland wheels with 175/50 tyres. No probs at all with rubbing and i dont have rolled arches.

 

Rsdaz: do you have any probs on the front with exhaust/sump scraping being that low? Mine looks about the same as ive recently lowered it but it scrapes even goin into the garage (about a 2" step). When i put it on a ramp i noticed some grooves in the sump

 

I think im goin to raise it again and put 185/60 tyres on. Does any one have any pics of these on the 7" 4 spokes? Cheers

that is such a pretty car

[rsdaz]

it does catch the exhaust at the front sometimes but only over big speed bumps so i dont want to change to a higher profile as i dont think it looks as good.never had a problem with the sump scraping its quite a bit higher than the exhaust.what sump have you got cos i think the standard pinto sump is deeper than the rs2000 one.

[mk1rob]

oh right i didnt know that. Im guessin ill have a standard pinto sump then. I agree that the 175/50s look better than 185/60s but i hate it when it catches so i think ill go for the bigger profile and swing towards the rally car theme. Your car looks stunnin btw
