The Mk1/2 RS wheels need special nuts and collars

the Mk5/6 Escort RS2000 wheels are front wheel drive offset and so aren't really suitable.

cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

They will bolt straight on. Check nuts though, RS wheels used a sleeve nut and flat washer, Capri wheels used taper seats. These were often used to replace RS wheels, so make sure you know what you've got.

Yeah i brought a Capri wheel last year that was incorrectly advertised on Ebay.

I was credited for the mistake, just had to keep the wheel and pay the carriage, so £12 wasnt that bad after all, just will use it as spare.
