on the MK2? or the MK1? I can get em over there, but, it won't be easy as i believe they are discontinued

There for the mk1. What size tyres are you putting on the front? Will 8" wide front wheels not be too wide?

Nice wheels though!

Looks like minilite copies to me too :)

Nice rims, though I'd prefer 'em on a mk1 Escort, Mini or Dolly :D

You can only try and see how you get on, my car is lowered too though.

Love the sofa BTW, makes me think of miami vice for some reason :)

yeah bought it about 5 yrs ago and don't even sit on it, it is uncomfortable, basically it is there to fill the room with things other than car parts

there is a slight rubbing on the front right spring container for some reason front right only, it appears 215's up front would have been the better choice... having stability is a strange feeling with that car though it actually stays planted instead of trying to dori dori every corner

anyways on with the pics... i know i have major wheel gap, but, that is due to the spring perch

the wheels are not completely flush, the stick out about 5 mm or so, still i think they look stunning

They look stunning!! I have to get me some of those. Is that a 35mm offset allround?

def gives the car a more menacing look IMO

I think they are only 14's

Not a big fan of them on my car and wanting to change but not seen anything I like yet. They might look better on a red or white car
