doubts about wheels : (

[Guest MK1gaz]

leave the 15's for the big brakes and turbo brigade as they've got no choice ( or taste !!!!!! ) :lol:

 

Cheeky git

 

Those wheels are the nicest 15's i've seen on an escort BUT if somone could photoshop some 7x13's back on it please it will look even better

[Guest MK1gaz]

oops posted it twice

Oi what about the 17's then

[BaileyMex]

I'd normally say the 4 spokes, but they do kinda look different

[petrolhead01]

its a tough choice and ultimatly its up to you , but im with the minority and say compos!!! dare to be different!!

[james p]

as the poll is basicly a 50/50 im guna offer the wheels up

if some one buys em ill do something else with the money

 

i paid just under £200 for thease wheels they are all in good order but could do with a refurb as the paint is bubleing, all 4 tires are good

 

any one want to make me an offer close to £200 ?

[Awesome Al]

Compo without dought

[RUSTYPUP]

Get them compos on there.

Nice to see somebody choosing something other than the 'favourites' that everybody is running

[Daveyboy20]

Id say RS, not too keen on the compos and also they seem a lot of hassel and you dont wanna raise the car it looks great as it is. Sell em and use the money somewhere else..

[Guest MK1gaz]

Sell em to the turbo brigade over on the turbosport forum mate , they've got no taste

[Mk 1 Mark]

As B.A would say...You Crazy fool

[deluxe]

with 50 profiles you need 15" to get the circumference the suspension geometry is designed around. And they look less lost under the arches

i like em thats why i bought em but i dont have the money to lay out fittin em at the mo so if i can sell em ill play with outher things n buy some more at a later date

[stu]

whats wrong wiff 15.s. i agree with dare 2 b difrent just paint em black

[ratman]

Defo go for the compos

 

Be different!!

 

WHY IS EVEYONE SH!T SCARED OF BREAKING THE MOLD

 

Just because ford never fitted different wheels don’t mean you cant

 

Its your car for fook sake

 

Fords never put fire breathing cossy or XE's in but no one bats an eye lid when anyone pop the bonnet to find one fitted

 

When Jo public see's an old ford weather its a mk1/2 escort any of the 5 cortinas ,105E or 100E its a old ford be it a minter or a sh!tter they don’t stand there debating whether its got the right rim's or not

 

Take puddys mk2 cortina 500bhp + cossy engine 17" modern alloys and L/H/D

 

Now that’s about as different ias you can get to any other OSF

And good on him as it’s as cool as fook

 

But to Jo public its a red/gold mk2 cortina

 

ARRRRR rant over

[james p]

i agree im all for breakin the mold as soon as money allows im gettin a nice set of compo mo's or simalr ive just decided to spend the money else where

good on ya its just all the knobs who say you must fit these 13" rim and no outher

[james p]

nah im all for the changes id love a vax engine ,bike carbs and 15s but gotta start where i can afford n work up

[Guest MK1gaz]

He means all the people with taste only fit 13's on them

[RUSTYPUP]

I know, lets all fit 13's to our cars. Maybe we could all agree on a colour all our cars should be too.

[Guest MK1gaz]

Any period colour will do mate , i'll leave all the special effect pearl orange metalflakes and 17 inch chrome spinning rims to the youngsters who think that's how a car looks good . People may moan and groan about most of the oldskool cars running on 13 inch rims still , but the truth is that they just look and drive so much better with them . Fads will come and go but some things will never change , 13 inch wheels being one of them Proper oldskool

[RUSTYPUP]

I was just beginning to think I'd found a place where me and my car fitted in. I didn't realise I was going to be shunned for running period 14" wheels and custom paintwork.

[Guest MK1gaz]

I'm not shunning it mate , i just don't see why people moan about classic colours and wheels all the time just because their cars got the lastest trends on it that's all

[RUSTYPUP]

Don't know if you mean Compos are the latest trend or my American racing mags, but can't say as I've seen a glut of either. Or maybe we are about to be overrun by super trendy flamed Cortinas.

The latest trend IS 4 spoke rs or superlights.
