Finally, Finally finished my wish list!!!

The one thing I have wanted since getting my first Scorpio all those years ago, was a set of 17" 7 spoke alloys. When I was first looking for a Scorpio, I always wanted the facelift and I saw one for sale at Macarthys in London on Autotrader. It was a green facelift but it looked so meaty because it had these 7 spokes.
I got a set on EBay Germany, one of which was damaged (which I knew) and got a 4th from Fordparts UK. The 4th is delivered tomorrow and we are then off to fit the nice new 235/45 17 Yokahamas!!
Just picked up a brand new set of alloy centres as well so all looks well for this weekend!! Pictures will be posted of course!!

Nice one Baz, look forward to seeing her on 17s as I have been toying with the idea of getting rid of my multispokes and getting something a little tastier on there!

Yup, looks about right!! You even found one with a wooden steering wheel!! I will have to sort out the rear shocks a bit though because it is now sitting on 235/45 17 tyres and it does tend to bump a little on speed bumps because of the extra width compared to the 16's it was on before
