Rostyles back from the powdercoaters, blackouts done, look a treat, it will be a shame to see them no doubt swapped over for Minilites when its sold.  Do you think that 205's will fit on these given they are 5.5"??

I love the rostyles. However i reckon they look much better on a mk1 escort.
Large minilites look great on the capri and allow for bigger brakes.
I also love the 15 inch rostyles from image wheels and am tempted to buy a set.
The 205 will fit on the 5.5 rims but the sidewalls will come close to the strut. Its probably a case of fit it and see.

Yeah, they'll fit, and the sidewalls will bulge nicely - the complete opposite of the 'Souf London Look', which is a good thing in my opinion.

yep, you can keep sarf London, running 155's on a 7"' wide rim don't suit a Capri or escort.
Match that with 45 or 50 series on a 13 "' and your sure to wreck a decent looking car.
 
each to their own though as they say

your rims will be fine JR, its all in VSB14 section LS.
 
 
Width wise the rear are not an issue.  On the front 5.5in is fine, with correct offset will not rub on strut and will stay within guards.  6in rims would either rub the strut or the outer wall would sit outside of the guard lip depending on offset.

Factory Black interior, ill stick with that, though saddle would probably look quite smart, or White, how good would white look.....

Great progress, paint looks good, love the colour would like to see it in the flesh. I think a black interior works best with a yellow body but I'm bias as thats what my RS is
Keep the pics coming.

Paint going on slowly but surely, apparently its a swine to get to cover, but if you use a solid orange base coat rather than grey its gets easier
