Alloys to suit Scorpio

Hi everyone
So what alloys could you suggest? been looking at 5 and 7 spoke but none really stand out. Not sure if the 12 spoke we have at the minuite suit the car. They look abit on the small side.

Hi Dan
My opinion is that you can't get better than the 12-spokes. I got mine fully re-furbished and powder-coated and they look great. I put a slightly higher aspect-ratio tyre on to help with the ride and tyre wear.

I do like the 12 spokes but for some reason dont seem to go with our car  I really like the 7 spoke scorpio alloys like baz had on his, but cant find any plus i bet they are expensive

Get in touch with SPIKIES SCORPIOS , he did have a set of sport spokes which came of one of my scorps. When clean and with dressed tyres they used to look the dogs xxxxxxxx

Ive got the 7 spoke . Got to be honest didnt like them when i first got the csr (they were on when i bought the motor ) but theyve grown on me , once i gave em a proper clean and shine they do look the dogs doo daas . But i also think it depends what colour your car is in a funny way , mine is black and the wheels sort of suit it , but not sure theyd look so good on o lighter coloured car , if that makes any sort of sense

There is another 7-spoke option that was only fitted to the Ghia-X.
I have a set, with or without tyres, if you are interested.

I like them too, just wish I'd taken time to give them a polish before the photo.
I may try them for looks on my TVR as it's standard Ford fittings.

No problem Dan. Going to try them on the other one this weekend. I may keep them for 'winter' wheels as the TVR ones are polished alloys and don't like salt and grit.

Yes Matt, bought that Cossie from Dave Freeman some time ago to add to my collection. It also has a 2 litre diff and S/S exhaust. Goes like the wind.
