all polished? problem is they're such a cool wheel, going too 'out of the box' will just look weird. they're quite a fussy design too so you need something to calm it down, either all polished or how about dark grey centres and just polish the rims, not the spokes?

I reckon white on those mate, like pillock says they're a 'busy' looking design so you want something to calm it all down

what are you doing with the old cossie wheels, tell me you are keeping em, so i don't have to offer the remains of my O/D LOL! if these come up at a reasonable amout let us know. I think i'd have to detail the cosmics, sorry. white matt black with gloss deatail

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

I know I'm gonna sound boring, but black'n'polished is the way to go (IMO). On a MkIII 'Scort they're already different and anything other colour scheme will make them look less like Cosmics, which can only detract from the effect you were after in the first place.

Yup,.. its the whole think different thing,.. only alter one thing at once. So Mk3 Escort on Cosmics = good enough change to start with

I'm keeping the cossie wheels to i think the cosmics would look good black and polished its just the pact that my cossie wheels have already been done like that that i was digging about for new ideas i don't think body colour would look good but mayby some darker blue?
