A Ford 12 Spoke 15"


OZ Polaris 17"

The Toora 17" look the best but will they be to big, as most people seem to go with 15" rims

Did not even bother to photo the sierra wheels I have

I like the Tooras. But they may just be a tad over size. Otherwise my money is on the Generics but I fear they will fail the IVA without the centers.

I have just managed to swap my much diss-liked RS style alloys for a set of the cossie ones ( after 2nd look, read as ish )

15 inchers from an Escort GTI

They'll do me for starters ...... Well at least untill I am rich enough to buy a set of Minilites

Sorry to hijack the thread but does it make much difference if the wheels are 5J or 6J.

Regards

Peter

Depends on your tyre width and the wing width.
