well.. like it or not it's not going to be roadworthy as such. Twin sidedrafts, lowered, wheel track, no booster, various missing emissions.

I would hapily go 15's if i could find a decent wheel, 16 would be great if once again i could find a decent wheel.
I want black spoked.

Why don't you make discrete inquiries of the motor vehicle registering authorities in your State to find out what size wheels you are legally allowed to fit to the car. If you comply with the relevant requirements you might save yourself a great deal of money and not fall foul of the law.

i know in victoria you are only allowed to have rims that are 2 inches bigger than the biggest option from factory, so by law here you can only run 15's

In W.A. you have to comply with VSB14, which is meant to be a national standard.

It doesnt state a maximum wheel diameter, just that the overall wheel/tyre diameter must not increase by more than 15mm over the largest factory fitted wheel/tyre combo. So if your tyres are lo-pro enough, you can run big diameter rims.

Ok- didn't realise we went onto a secon page [:I]
http://www.wheelsrus.com.au/wheels/25/380/mag-wheels-king-wheels-kg-5-black.html

How do get a pic in here?

I did hear about overall wheel dia.
I was aware that i was close to staying in it.
16's should see me right.
However i have been driving a long time - when the cops want to - they sticker it. So i'll deal with that when it happens. The wheels i have didn't pose me any probs and thier 215's 0 offset (but 13's :-().

I love my three Escorts, but the Holden is by far the best car. [:u]

SAAB 15x6 +33 fit perfectly and are a lot cheaper than alloys. If you want em black & chrome just do what I did & paint the rims then put on chrome dress rings
There's plenty of tyre choice in 15" at good prices. They're also legal only being 2" over standard 13" rims and a 45 profile tyre maintains the standard rolling diameter.

You said there will be many defects with your car but if you keep it looking legal from the outside the chances of being defected are slim.

Thanks jorgan.
I would actually love those wheels but i have had to rethink 17"
I read alot and looked throught the forum at pics n stuf and i am going to have to go down to 16", and even this might be a hassle.
I had a look on that site and there are only 5 16" wheels and .. i'm sorry to be so fussy... but i don't like em.

I hav in some ways given in. I think unless something comes up i will be getting a set of rota auto-x (from the US since i can't find black ones here) with a +40 ofset and then using 4x108 to 4x100 wheel adapters which are about 35mm wide. (Then centric rings :-( )
All of which i don't really want to do - i want dish!
But the choices in 16" just arent't there, especially in 0 or next to , offset.

Having said all of that - are there any other places that offer custom pcd drilling??

Thanks very much for you offer too.
Daz.
