out of that lot. id probs go for the zetec s wheels... my reasons being. 15 inch so you can run escos front brakes or similar if you want. without fear of having to mess about with wheelspacers to get the callipers to clear the wheel im sure someone will correct me if thats wrong. Diamond cut 7 spokes look thier best in 17 inch if you want to do the 17 inch wheels on a fez thing then go for it. you can get 16s but they are a pretty rare sight and the smaller ones just look wrong but thats just an opinion.. the escort gti or mondeo 5 spokes are alright if you like that generation of ford look... as jamie said. its down to your taste and what you want. if you like it. thats all that matters. not what a forum full of people think you should do.

for a 16 inch tyre youll be down to 40 or 45 profile tyres depending if you go 195 or 205...but it is worth bearing in mind that 15 inch tyres are a fair bit cheaper than 16 inch ones. so if cost is an issue its something to bear in mind. as for 15s you can run 45 or 50 profiles. the former having less wall and looking better...the latter making it a teeny bit more comfy on the bumpy bits but that will depend how much you lower it and what brand of tyre you use. just be aware that certain tyre and wheel offset combintations will cause rubbing on full lock. theres no hard and fast rules it will just be what suits your car Jam |
