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 :D


The days when I had a nice car, and you actually came along to events :P

Pepperpots are not oem+ ! I'm not saying they wouldnt look good, but it depends what route you're going down with the car.

Ok, ok.

So whats the best OEM Ford alloys I can buy that would be suitable for my car? I'm going for the shiney, smooth, low, clean look. LOL

probably the rs's you had originally, pepperpots or capri/escort mk1's? all look tasty once refurbed and polished :D

james have you not considered banded steelies? they'll help the euro look ?

rs500 alloys?
shiney look nice are wide. but 15" the size limits you i think for decent ford alloys

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..

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

with that rs accesory front bumper, i reckon you should go down the cleaned route. it would be original, and i reckon you could pull it off.
