Re: MK2 Fiesta Ghia - Low and Slow. *More new wheels*
Another new set of wheels! I feel like Burman now I've been searching for a year a set of these wheels for around a year now and in that time only 2 sets came up for sale and both times I wasn't in a position to buy them until a set came up for sale last week. They are 13X7j ET26 RSL Mohags Unlike other 7j wheels on a MK2 these wont stick out due to the nice offset There in reasonable condition, just need a clean, some paint on the centers and a new set of bolts. Not really sure what colour to go with the centers (Dish is staying polished) gold would be the sensible choice but I would mind a chance, suggestions are welcome. I haven't fitted them yet as I need to get the tryes swapped over. The wheels came with one 145/70 tyre which has a massive stretch The dish has been polished by the previous owners but has gone dull from being in storage so I went round one wheel with some metal polish and it came up better then I though. Anyway enough talking, here are the pictures.
Stretch:
Quick polish on the dish:

Re: MK2 Fiesta Ghia - Low and Slow. *More new wheels*
the spoke design is a bit bland imo, but id say they'd look great white or gold, maybe a dark metallic grey?

To be honest mate I don't go up Ipswich very often. I'm up lakeside more then I'm up Ipswich! You going to FITP? you can see it then I've got an adjustable panhard rob on mine...really makes a difference on a lowered MK2.

I know what you mean but I reckon once the centers are painted they'll look better. I reckon I'm gunna go gold again.

Re: MK2 Fiesta Ghia - Low and Slow. *More new wheels*
good stuff, looks great in motion
ive been told never leave masking paper/tape on longer than needed, remove right after finishing painting, so you dont chip or damage the paint after its dried

Then you'd peel the paint back off? It's fine to leave it on for the length Jamie is.jonyb4 :good stuff, looks great in motion
