Title: Alloys to suit Scorpio
Post by Daniel on Aug 4^th, 2012, 7:07pm

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.
Dan ;D

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.

Sorry stevo for not getting back till now. For some reason i dont like those alloys. Dont t know why ??? just dont stand out to me.
Thanks anyway mate :)
Dan ;D

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.

Dan, Baz sold them to Tony and I bought them when Tony decided to sell them on. http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=admin3;action=display;num=1233061683
I have them on one of my Cossie's at the moment.

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.
