I just think the shape of the spokes and how they taper into the center caps blends nicely with the headlights and tails on the pre98's. I think they look better on earlier cars.

I've always liked the E0 wheels better than the E1 wheels.

Some silly thing I have about the Cosworth heritage vs the "Mustang Cobra" heritage.

Nothing against the Mustang. Just personal preference, and my impression of this car as an imported Euro Ford (even though mine was built in KC), and not an "American Sports Sedan."

BTW, silly me, I responded to your post in the General forum.

Anyway, if you want to see mine, just click on the "Author's Homepage" button. Page one and page two have different wheels, so make sure you check out both.

(Speaking of heritage, did you know that the legendary Tickford Capri came with the same designed wheels as our early 7-spoke 15's? So did the late-model RS's. Different sizes, offsets, and paint schemes, but the design is unmistakable. That's the stuff that BAT is selling as "soft effect," don't ask me why.)

"Function before fashion."
