Refurbishing 7.5 4 spokes

[notenoughtime]

I’ve just bought some 7.5x13 4 spoke alloys which need refurbishing, not sure what I’m going to put them on yet!! 

what finish should I go for 

1 standard silver all over 

2 standard silver with polished rim  

3 black with polished rim

im thinking no 1 

[preacherman]

Has to be silver with a diamond cut edge nicely polished

195 x 50 x 13 tyres

Definitely not

Black spokes with polished rim and spoke edges, think it highlights the deep dish more

[notenoughtime]

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 

[colr6]

Unless your putting them on a X- pack, don't make any difference. Not original fitment to a boggo RS anyway.

This I mean. ??

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.

I'll get them to the refurbisher tomorrow won’t be back till the new year now though

I'm a fan of as shown, but with polished rims. So your NO.3

205 60 13s, personally id do them polished with colour coded centers. if not then polished with dove grey.

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.

Magnificent looking wheels. Anyone ever try fit them with standard arches?

Seen pics of a mk2 with them fitted-looked hideous.

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.

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.

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.
