Hi, im after some alloys for my 95 scorpio. The only ones which look good are the 16' from the 24v.
What i really need to know is what offset i need to look for if buying non-ford.
Also are there any ford alloys which look good & fit the rear arches right....(so they dont sit in to much)
Thanks

Mine looked like this with the 16" 12 spokes.
(Not my car by the way but you get the idea!!)
It now looks like this with the genuine Ford Scorpio optional 17" 7 spokes! Not too sure of the offsets etc.

Richard - The wheels look fabulous but when are you going to get around to spraying the rest of the car that fabulous spray putty type Mustard Yellow - looking forward to seeing a yellow Scorp.

Mmmmm Nice. How do you get away with putting 19"s on there and not get your wheelarches battered by the tyres?

I just bought 4x 17" wheels with 225 tyres (albeit federal) for £420 new- they look the business and cost only a little more than tyres alone. apparently 16" are costly tyres and wheels as they are not in as much demand. time will tell if the buget tyres are false economy

Baz..........The tyres are 215/35 X19 and they are the same diameter as your 225/45 X17, Hope this answers your question.

Perhaps the Captain / VA should be appointed " Commoodore" ( I think they are still built by the Aussie branch of V******* )
