I used to have one of those. Signal Yellow knacker :cheers:

i didnt think they wrre rostyles, but it seems that people call them that anyway :blackeye:, nice one for that pic geez, am i right in saying that the bit round the hole is the only bit thats black?

Used to have shiny rims on mine. (Clip on type) Thought they looked dull otherwise. Same as the RS streel but slightly narrower.

[lathamescortmk2]

ye, ive got the shiny rim bits, and the centres all looking spanky and new, just brought some 175/50/13" toyo proxes for them, going to use them untill i can afford my ats classics :cheers: :cheers:

[Frosticles]

How come you've changed from RS Alloys? Can't beat that wheel for looks IMO. (Minilites excepted)

[lee bishop]

arent they called sports steel wheels? and those shiny bits are called embelishers......... i am still after a 5.5" steel for my currently vacant spare wheel well........

[lathamescortmk2]

there laser rims, not rs's, they look ok, but the tyres are on the way out, and i want some ats classics, as im going for that "euro" look, and id rather just get the rostyles looking nice so i can use them for winter wheels as the ats's wont like the winter (not many chrome wheels will)


atsclassics btw:

We know that Golf at work well. Tis an extremely tidy car. Nice wheels but not too sure about them on a MK2. I used to have the "Euro" look with 7.5 "X" Pack wheels with 175 tyres stretched over. Looked really good. Ever thought of going that route?

[lathamescortmk2]

lol, id def love some x pack rms, but im a studnet so no spare grands lying about :colors: :colors: :colors:

[lathamescortmk2]

some euro's mk2's for some evidence it can be done:
