Those seats do look good... Shame you have to go to the expense of retrimming them,. Would suit a mk1 escort or cortina perfectly....  Shaun

aren't those 2nd wheels called 'twisted vista'? the smallest they will do with the right offset for escort is 17x7 in a falcon stud pattern at around $780 a rim. Simmons fr17's in 17x7 can be had for around $660 a rim if you shop around could even get better possibly. and the twisted vista style doesn't look any where near as good with no dish as a standard escort offset. hopefully some of this may be relevant to you whoppa and your car looks great mate.
