Matt...Don't get me wrong mate but they're not Scorpio style wheels, they'll look way thinner than the 225's fitted too. The stock 7's or 12's rule on the Ultima 8).

Your decision though, good luck with them ;)

Regards, Bruce.

ill take a few pics at diffrent angles, but i'll have to do it somewhere quiet, as they still might end up a an xmas pressie for me dad so i cant let him see them untill ive (and you lot) have decided if they suit the scorpio's shape or not lol.

they have the 215 tyre fitted atm so i would need to re boot them if they stay with the scorpio.

i could of had them for £102 but some 0 rated newbie decided to have a bit with 2 mins to go, scared him off tho ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It does happen quite a lot Matt. If you go onto the message boards there are numerous items on "shill bidding" there are even programmes available which will track potential sellers with buyers bidding on their items to see if they are getting the same people to bump up their prices!

Those are nice but I wouldn\'t swap you ;)

I just cant see past the 12 spokes, i\'ve never really seen any other wheels on a Scorpio that really look as good and suit the car

Title: Re: Would these fit
Post by Matt on Nov 23^rd, 2006, 4:17pm

i know what you mean, im not so sure on them myself anymore, any way, means i can give the 12 spokes a good clean and polish now lol

[] Nice but they look too small on the Scorp, you can't beat the RS 7's or the 12's on the bugeye, never seen a set of aftermarket or non standard rims which do it justice as well ;)

Would look nice on the Cougar though :D

Regards, Bruce :).

12 spokes everytime for a Scorp. Still see mine most days and they still look a treat!

have too agree, i like my 12 spokes. was going to get some 18's to go on here but the more i look at the 12'vs the more i like them. think i will just get mine refurbed.

Its the 12's or 7's for me. Though i do think some proper escort cosworth 5 spokes (like the mondy ones i have on mine but fatter) would look good. I was thinking of just putting 2 fat cossie ones on the back and 2 thinner mondy ones on the front, will have to see about that next year :)
