Ford Fiesta Mk3.5 Project OEM+: End of an era...
Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt OEM+: Few Things...
Those Pepperpots are mint! What size are they? 13x7?
But still, I can't say they'd suit my car. My god I'm terrible with wheel choice, can't win!
Someone WOW me...

Smo :What a photo, I remember that day
The days when I had a nice car, and you actually came along to events
Pepperpots are not oem+ ! I'm not saying they wouldnt look good, but it depends what route you're going down with the car.

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt OEM+: Few Things...
probably the rs's you had originally, pepperpots or capri/escort mk1's? all look tasty once refurbed and polished 
james have you not considered banded steelies? they'll help the euro look ?

Re: Ford Fiesta Mk3.5' Projekt OEM+: Few Things...
Peppers pots are abit boring and 'dated' on the Mk3.
If you do go for pepper pots at least put 5.5j? XR2 ones on the front and 7j Capri ones on the rear so you have some dish/stagger.
What about Cosworth Sharktooth alloys..

Seems like Sharktooth alloys are popular.

I must admit both sets of wheels look good on a Mk3, when they get tarted up!
