Got the 16" wheels today they have been refurbed and tidy looking.
They are not 100% but you only notice the slight imperfections if you realy look close up so they are now sitting in my office safe and waiting for tyres.
Paid £160 for 4 escort cozzy wheels in dark grey

I will have to ask Ayjay, he seems to be a wizard at posting photos I'm not that good with this computer witchcraft. If I cant machine it, weld it or drive it I'm *********

I've just 'won' a set of Escort Gti wheels on eBay which look very similar. £40 - but they do need a refurb!

That sounds good, are they ally in colour and when you refurb them are you going to colour them

They are black at the moment, look like they've been sprayed and not very well - i'll find out for sure when I collect them from Watford! Here's how they looked in the listing:





I'm going to look at the cost of refurb before I decide whether to do them myself or not - but they'll be going white!

They look very similar to mine, hard to tell from the photo but I think the spokes maybe slight thicker on mine.

p.s. they do look good in dark grey

Default On the subject of wheels

If 15 inch diameter is the best size what sort of width do you need 5.5/6 anyone suggest the best width.

Cheers
