| Hi, summer is coming and I quite fancy some different wheels on the escort, it is currently on a set of standard steel wheels but I do have a set of capri ones which are a bit too wide for the car (see pic) Has anyone got any suggestions of what wheels would look good on it? Tom  | |

| I reckon the old XR3 Cloverleafs were the best looking wheels for a Mk3 that's if you can find a set now  Rob | |

| Thanks for this, has given me many ideas, will probably be going and getting some new wheels in a few weeks when my tyres completely fall apart. | |
