Im just trying to think of anyone else. I know you can get Rays and Works wheels custom made but you start to get pricey then. Ill speak to a few mates and see if theres anything else (a friend is managing a tirepower now so that should help)

Why the re-think? I know Id only go to 16's but every time I see an Escort with 17's I start drooling uncontrollably if its a bit more work do it,it still pays off man, build your car for yourself not other people.

you can et the performance superlights in two offsets and a custom PCD cant remember what the offsets are though, can find out for you if you want:

I think your looking at about $1600 for a set of 4

ALSO RAZZLE:

and post on previous page

It's not that - the car is painted and i don't really wanna go cutting the arches to stop scubbing n stuff.
I wanted 17 to get a larger tyre selection but 16's will be fine.
I would get 15 if i could get 40 series for them.
Ive seen performance wheels - not a fan of the all too common minilites.
The other i will have to see what styles they have and prices.

Thanks for your help with this.
The auto x are $890 landed and a couple of hundred for set of wheel adapters.
Like i said - not really the way i want to go.. but..

Why 40?

Because he wants it to handle like crap.

what? woah - the whole idea was to improve cornering - why would say handle like crap???

Look for the lightest rim/tyre combo that clears your brake setup.

If you're chasing grip, try a new set of tyres before changing rims.

17 x 7 x 40 ' will handle fine...

I've had on mine for 5 or so years. Used to be good but QLD now has the poo pootest roads in Australia. On the smooth patches they are good.
