Modern wheels?

[mk1mexico]

Painted white/black i think it could work. Show off the Wilwoods nicely. They are 7x15 with 195/45/15 tyres and fit perfect

 

[azz-bo]

Looks sound to me how about a pic of a full side view?

[SebringRS]

I quite like em

 

And im thinkin Black

[MightySprocket]

i like the spoke design but the offset looks wrong, they need a dish and fill the arches a bit more IMO

[5hane]

Brun them, c rush them... just get rid of them

Took them off now mate

 

Offset's bang on, any further out in the arch and they would be touching the lip. Maybe looks a little strange as its just been let down off the jack, and not driven to settle again

[tom28]

they look nice but id still say old skool all the way

[Mr Sam]

seen some of the last shape Ka's had some rims a bit like miilites

 

but they were 14"s

[sampedlar06]

i like them but would be better with a bit of dish..? still cant beat i good set of old skool rimmage!!

[Wessie]

love the car, but not those rims banded steelies all the way

[rsdaz]

they dont do it for me the only five spokes i like on an osf are compomotive mo's but i'd rather just stay oldskool

[rallyesport04]

minilites compos or revs oh alley cats aint too bad or old skool steelies nice wheels but not on a osf imho

[4parajon]

I thought you'd sold that escort

 

Each to there own, and I'm happy to reserve judgement on "new wheels on old cars" and take them on a case by case basis.

In this case I dont like 'em

[sambo]

Sack 'em mate. (bit rich coming from me but i have now got some 10x13's).

 

they are too halfords for your mk1 escort!!

[BIGKEV]

Sambo - what 10 x 13 have you got now?

[mk1mexico]

Jon, still mine it has been for sale a couple of times, and i have seen the light, Sure we have had this conversation twice before aswell

 

Agree with the Halfords comment, i was thinking they could be made into some cheap trackday wheels, tyres are a bit cheaper for these, and i cant get a 195 section tyre on my other rims and under my arches.

 

 

Aprreciate the comments, think i will put them back on the Saxo now

[GJUK]

Don't like them I'm afraid.

 

If you do, keep them though

Maybe we have.......your getting old y'know

 

If you like 'em then leave them on I say, especially if it cuts the cost for your trackdays

[rallyesport04]

cant see a prob with using them on track days good idea imo you will have tyres for track an tyres for the road

[sambo]

Sambo - what 10 x 13 have you got now?

 

 

Got me a set of superlite split rims. 8x13's for the front and 10x13's for the rear. Also got a pair of outers that will take the fronts to the same size as the rears....

 

 

 

 

 

Had to have them, they will just suit my car perfectly. Just got to sell the brakes now

[Toby]

They'll look lovely Sambo - but how much are the treads?

[Vista]

They'll look lovely Sambo - but how much are the treads?

 

How much indeed? Can you still get tyres wide enough for 10J 13" rims?

[Toby]

I just found some 225 45 13 on Blackcircles - Toyo R888 at £94 ea. so not toooooo bad....with a stretch

 

No 245 45's unfortunately which would have a similar profile to a 185 60 13

[l j shaw]

not for me.......the rims are just too new

[puddy]

Big wheels on an osf can work in my biased opinion........

 

 

Gotta be slammed tho'
