Hi Adrian,

I had my reply to your message returned as "delivery failure" on your e-mail address.

But in answer to your question:

They are Wolfrace CAM 295 in 17" available from Rochford Wheels & tyres.
They are 4 x 108 but I wouldn't advise that you go for the Ford offset (ET35) as these sit too far inside the wheel arches.
Mine are an ET10 as fitted to some Peugeot and are just about right.

These wheels went straight on without any modifications or spacers. Some people have said that they are a bit too modern but I don't think they are any more so than the Chimera wheels that some people fit and as far as I can tell the Chim wheels are not a straight fit on any S series before an S3.

Rochford Wheels & Tyres have excellent deals on wheel and tyre packages, my set cost me just £405 including VAT and next day delivery and they are a good make not an obscure manufacturer that I'd never heard of before. They have certainly made the car appear more modern but I don't think they are too modern on what was a retro styled car anyway. The Ford Escort rear lights aren't particularly period styling!

Anyway, let me know how you get on. I went into the fitment very carefully before buying so I'll be glad to help if you need any further info.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Don't know why the e-mail wouldn't work. Thanks a lot for the advice. Will look into it and give it some thought.
Cheers,
