alloys - 15" or 16" (maybe 14" :) )

Im after a set of alloys for my locost. It has a capri rear axle and a cortina front. So 4 stud ford fitment. It has a set of the old capri pepperpots on the back so similar offset to them if poss. Doesnt matter if it is more as it already has 35mm spacers fitted!!

this topic was covered not too long ago. IIRC the general feeling was the only benefits of wheels over 15" was appearance (depends on personal taste) and werent as good for handling, 16"s are also not available in as many styles.

I've got a set of 15" Fox alloys with tyres if your interested. Should fit but you would need to check the Off set first though.
