I think mine are 100% too.. not looked closely for curbing when or since I bought it, but Tyres definitely are goodies with loads of Tread (and good Bridgestones too)

Its hard to really tell what yours are like suitability to the car-wise without seeing them in the flesh so-to-speak..

..not promising I'll swap just yet..

Cheers

Spoke to "Err indoors" (she'd kill me for that), last night, she'd be interested in swapping subject to sight......give it some thought..if you do fancy some 5 spokes let us know, we might be able to sort something out...(got any piccies of your wheels?)

(Ps, may be adaft question, but where are you in the uk? - may have a bearing on this.....)

Those look like TSW's ( Stealths I think) - a mate had something very similar on his Pug 205 GTi.

Were those a standard factory option then?

Don't look too bad on an S though...

not sure on the wheels but the colour is stunning.

If any colour S is likely to suit the 5 spokes its something like that purple one as the colour is modern for a classic car.

AAAh... Hmmm.... Err....


Seeing that I'm not sure they'll suit my car that well actually.. the Silver looks a lot whiter than the silver of my car.
Cheers,
Matt.

To be honest, the wheels are not Stealth's, (not actually TSW's). Not sure who the manufacturer is.

They are more like the ones further up the TSW page. (note no centre cap), they are also not "white" silver, they are more "grey" silver.....
But hey ho, up to you.....

Bills1's wheels are definitley not the same, they are very close to a style fitted to the Fiesta (will they fit the Sierra hub?). Essexbloke's are quite distinctly fan like in style, but I still think that I have seen them on either the Fiesta or the Escort in days gone by. The word "constellation" sprung to mind at first, but I'm not sure that's right.
