they are lookin' good in the box . I am gessin' they could be out of my price range once I've put some tyers on though . How much are you after my good man ? I am guessin you got 4 wheels and no tyres . I like the look of the top pik (6) spoke one , Guessing thats the 17'' cheers.

I know. The guy has got two sets for sale at the same price too and they are a genuine Ford Scorpio wheel and so has the right offsets etc!

Make sure you get the right tyre widths on the rear. I have Ford 17" seven spokes on mine and when I got them, I fitted the biggest sized tyres recommended by Ford.
Unfortunately they hit the wheel arches! I was lucky, the tyre man changed them for narrower ones FOC!

I went for 215-45-17's, I havent noticed any rubbing, I will look though. cheers. they were the best tyres for keeping the outside diameter the same and not increasing it . also a touch wider. they grip much more pleasantly than the 205-60-15's . and the ride is slightly firmer and still very comfortable.
