    Hello folks :)
    as title says, im looking to get alloys for the car.
    01 mondeo in amparo blue
    The only alloys i can find on the interweb that i can see as a possible selection are ford rs alloys, or banded steelies.
    cant even get drawn to a colour!!
    but in imagining a gun metal grey or a shade similar..
    anyone care to share?

    OEM works great for a nice looking wheel. In sensible sizes and offsets.

    Took me years to learn that. Doesn't hurt re-sale either like huge or iffy wheels....


    So the next question(s) is/are what kind of look/handling/money?

    Them st's are nice.someone suggested st's to me but i was thinking of the chunky 5 spoke.dont like them.
    as regards handling,anything for long haul driving.not worried about lightweight etc but don't want to be driving on cavity blocks either
    looking to spend 2-500 euro
    if a really nice set came along in need of a refurb id be happy
