Posted these EGT rims I bought for $95 at the end of last year. They were painted white with a paint brush by the previous owner. Put a lot of work in them and used the Duplicolor paint and clear. I think they turned out great. Only the front 2 wheels are finished at this time. Have to paint the other 2 rims and do they center caps. Still not sure if I want to use the center caps or not.

Holy shit, that's sweet. I never cared much for these EGT rims (i prefer the fanblades), but they look fucking amazing in gunmetal. Good job.

Those are the best looking factory ford rims on a zx2 IMO.

i need 7-7.5" to be happy...heck even Slipstreams are only 6.5" :eeek:

The widest factory escort rims were 5.5. Sucks.

Dude, those are awesome. How hard is it to find some EGT rims in good condition for $100 or under? And what about the 7 spoke 14x5's?

The 7 spoke 14x5's only were on the escort lx.All escort gt's had 15's.

Some older Nissans had 4x100 14x6.5 for stockers. I had a list and I want to say they were on an 80's Stanza. Check older VW's if you want wider rims for cheap.

Well, I wasn't just talking about EGT's; those rims aren't too bad either.

Some older Nissans had 4x100 14x6.5 for stockers. I had a list and I want to say they were on an 80's Stanza. Check older VW's if you want wider rims for cheap.

But do they look decent? I don't need the wide rims, but if they are cheap...

And yes I do realize you weren't talking to me.
