I'm looking to buy used alloys on ebay I've seen a few sets of 4 x 17" oz superturismo white alloys in good condition for around £300. Just wondering if 17" will fit and which size tyre's are the best???. I think white alloys would look great with amparo blue I already have a magnex straight through exhaust on my car which is loud so I'm now looking to get alloys any suggestion on which 17" alloys will fit and look good on my escort. ???

 

Thanks Simon

i think they look good on a blue car

I think it would look better with white alloys in particular oz ones, but thanks anyway.

 

Did you have any problems getting 17" on your escort and which size tyre did you use. ?? ?

17's will go on an escort long as the offset is right. generally about et35. i think if you start going for peugot offset wheels(et20), then you might find problems.

 

mine are 17" and my car is lowered, dunno how much though about -40mm i think. i dont get any scrubbage.

17s go on easy if you got the right offset.I had 205/40/17 tyres and weren't even close to rubbing.I have got 18s on now with 215/35/18 and they dont rub.

first thing would be the dam sticker on the petrol cap but cant get the old cap off

 

morrettes are ready to be fitted

 

does need lowering -40

 

has a powerflow back box

 

had a k&n induction kit but now back to std air filter and k&n panel filter

 

have some tsw 17s to fit maybe when weathers better

 

ill let someone else tell you about the pics as im not good at trying to tell you how

 

has after market speakers and cd player nothing major but good enough for me

Thanks for the information about 17"

"had a k&n induction kit but now back to std air filter and k&n panel filter"

 

Hi, sorry to interupt your thread, just a quick question...I'm thinking of a k&n panel, are they good? make much difference??

 

im selling mine if your interested

Hi, ive not noticed mutch diffrence fitting the panel filter but if anything will let more air in than the std filter would

 

the induction kit looked better and made a bit more noise,but crap in the summer with all the heat from the engine compartment,and then winter time you need to clean it a lot more

 

i say get the K&N panel filter

Panel filter with the air box drilled or cone conbined with driving flat out : )
