Right, i need some rims for my Mazda 1300, but as funds are tight at the min i need something cheap. After hunting around the 'bay i've notced lots of these wheels for much cheapness, but do they work, or will i spend the next few years explaining to people why i have Ford rims on my car? Discuss...

I say yes, if only for the WTF factor at shows, it'd make a nice change to see them on something that's not an OSF.

I'd say yes, quite ironic the Mazda/Ford connection, too subtle for most people.

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Yep IMO they good. They are cheap, cheerful and unique the best combo! Lets face it I quite often have to explain why I have Saab alloys on my Sierra

Yeah that was the idea wasn't it? fresh. Give that a go!

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

I'm guessing you don't mean the full fat RS wheels - but the capri 4-spoke jobbies. In that case whilst looking alright side-on i reckon they would look a bit lost in the width departement.

lasers are 6", not too shabby.
by full fat i take it you mean the 7 1/2" rs wheels, you would need to have a lot of spare money for those though, but would look great

Looks good, I currently have 6x13 RS alloys on Madge and a set of 6x13 Capri Lasers, oh and a set of 51/2 x 13 Dunlop D1 type A also for Madge. Then there's the sets for the Imp...........oH b*gger! 3 sets of wheels for each car - am I a bit excessive?

The prob is trying to find some 12inch atv steels with a decent width. 12's are only ever used up the front of quads, so these are normally only 5-6'' wide Shame, cause if i went 8'' rears, i could easily get 10'' wide rims, but i doubt a set of 8's would fit over my discs...

DO IT! ive seen those wheel on non-fords before but they always look odd for some reason. On that they look awesome! Makes it look like some sort of ford prototye for some reason, do nothing else to it, apart from de-bagde it and REALLY confuse people!
