Wheel suggestions sierra sapphire cosworth

[willowandmikey]

Hi a friends restoring a sierra cossie and was looking for suggestions on a sierra cosworth any suggestions ?

[HmmDK]

5 spoke seems to suit them aswell as mesh wheels.. 17" seems to be the prefered size..

is it for racing or cruising?

[xbl]

Compomotive Th or MO or borbet c

[Robinxr4i]

Saff or 3 door?

Basically anything that isn't Compomotive MOs or RS 7 spokes.

Always thought escort cossie rims look good on sierra cossies

Always loved THs - although they have been done a few times they just seem right.

yI have focus rs alloys on one of mine and tsw on the other both suit it well , but also had rl7 which looked amazing 

my wheel of choice would be comp mo,s or cromadora s

TH's always looked great on a Sapphire. Back in the day though I thought one of the best was the TSW Hockenheim R.

momo arrows look great as well



diamond cut rs7 spokes also look great

I know it's been done, and done, and done some more, but these do it for me. I think it's because they're like OEM+

That or some nice Rondells. They're what I'd put on an Escort Cossie.

The 4X4 Cossie standard alloy is very light and very strong - a great wheel for the track. However most people like to go bigger so they can fit massive brakes inside them.

Back in the early 90s when people were trying to extract as much power from Saphs as possible, it was all about the 2.4, it was all about breaking 500bhp (and various engine pasts), and it was all about this wheel..

If you can find some, Hocks look ace.

Or even out of the box thinking, Borbet A?

I've got a set sitting that I've always meant to at least try on my Cossie!


Here's my old 24v on 15x9 ET4 Wellers




(15x7 ET5 Capri 280s on the rear here!)


Same wheels on my old twin cam:




And here's another vote for Escos rims.... as seen on my Cossie for a while longer:

Fifteen52 Turbo Mags. Super cool rally car 5 spokes!

What, A's or the Hocks?
I think A's would suit the lines of the Sapph.

I assume this is the infamous Ade I read in FF
