Opinions sought

I do like a dished wheel, are they similar to Add's?

18s?

 

[charliecd001]

Are they the ones like Phil used to have

 

[scunnycougar]

so they are. Which i actually took temporary ownership of before selling on to Ad.

Hmm.

 

[scunnycougar]

17's - with 215 45 tyres. No bids - starting price of £180 - finishes tomorrow

Nice wheels but beware of flaky laquer.

 

[spjmorris]

Too blingy for 17s IMO, it's a no from me.

 

[Relliott6879]

There's something about that particular wheel design that I've just never liked. I can't put my finger on it, I've just never felt they look 'right'. A no from me, too.

 

[scunnycougar]

i think manos should sell me the wheels from his c2

I nearly bought them when i first saw these (as per the pic above) but gradually have gone off them.

The mrs hates them

 

[mmikey82]

Not keen on the wheels stationary, but saw them on a moving car and they give the old wagonwheel reversing effect it looked really cool

 

[dogsbody]

Horrible.

You can't afford them mate!

 

[TopCat1127]

Yes they are same as Karen has on it now too, tho she has 18's i believe

What's the proper name for for the ones you have Manos?

 

[joyrider]

Not my cup of tea, too shiny.

I think a simple 5 or 6 spoke design suits the Cougar more, or even something along the lines of the ST200 wheel.

 

[spjmorris]

Mk1 Focus RS

 

[joyrider]

Mk1 Focus RS

Now there is a wheel that is worthy of being fitted to a Cougar.

Also, the Mk2 Focus RS

Mk1 Focus RS

Yup and they are made by OZ si so that's why they are expensive

Not if you hunt around and are wanting to refurbish them LOL

I got a set of 5 (4 with tyres) for £351 - 19" too - ready to refurbish and powdercoat in a colour of my choosing.

Though I'm guessing Si wants to pay about half that, ST200 wheels are well within that budget.

Not just that, the Mk1 Focus RS wheels are getting pretty rare now. If they do pop up on ebay which isn't often, expect to pay about £400 for a set needing a refurb.
