    The 18" Rondell might as well be standard fitment, I don't think there is another wheel that suits the Escos so well, it is just perfect for the car, pretty and hard looking at the same time ... Wonder if I can get them made in 10" wide and 9" for the front?

          Unless it was purely a show car, I woudn't touch Engells, as they are made out of chocolate, and if you look at them too hard they will buckle .

            Go for the standard wheel, I still love the look of mine with them on but then I'm probably

            Mat, might be worth having a word with JBK off the rsoc as I think he can get hold of them, but not sure how old they are though, the tyres that is

                Both, but you will soon see as soon as they are used. Next time you fit a new set of tyres to the car, most of them will be egg shaped and difficult to balance . You can actually see how bad they are on the tyre machine .

                        As I said, on a bufty show car, they will be fine . If used regularly and/or on track / back roads, they WILL buckle.

                            Fore-warned is fore-armed. You will just notice as they get older, that they will become more and more difficult to balance.

                              I try not to make a habit of this, especially in public, but I agree with mike here, mine are pretty bad to be fair , might have to go over to Comp's at some point, but they look crap compared to the Ronnies IMHO
