BaileyMex Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Has anyone got any photos that they could put up of a MK1 Escort running 15" Old Skool Alloys like Minilites or Revo RFX's? Thanks in advance
MightySprocket Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 I havent got any pics but Im thinking of going that way with my mk2, as long as the stance is right IMO they dont look too big, the Malta Mk1s get away with 16s
BaileyMex Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Posted November 27, 2009 True, still got to look Old Skool, I'm just sick of revving the tits out of it on the motorway with the 4 speed
Mk 1 Mark Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Paul Kents White Mk1 Mexico, had 15" RFX alloys and looked great Trying to find pictures. . . . . .

RWDaddict Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 Some pics on here http://www.comp.co.uk/gallery/details.a ... t+Mk1_0035 Hope there some help.
BaileyMex Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Posted November 28, 2009 See, I could live with that stance Do you know the car? and what the wheel width was/offset to get them under standard arches
Fiesta Steve Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 That red escort looks good on those wheels. The other thing to consider is you may need to raise the suspension as the wheel will be right up in the arches, it will still look as low as before but you'll gain groung clearence
Admin Vista Posted November 28, 2009 Admin Report Posted November 28, 2009 There's only one 15" old skool rim for me You'll need them a bit narrower than Al's 9 and 10J but they're available new again from revolution from 6J to 9J http://www.revolutionwheels.com/5-spoke/
