  • Got some escort rims installed

    I was going to wait til i washed the rims, but i keep seeing "look at my new rims" threads and had to join in on the fun

    I traded them for a case of beer and the rims that were on my festiva from a guy at work, he used the escort in the mud, which is why they're so dirty :lol:



    Not bad for a cell phone pic :lol:

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        After a quick look through the wheels that fit festiva sticky, I'm going to say no, you would need the Aspire hubs for them to fit. Maybe unless they are pre 1991, that's as far back as Escorts seem to go on the list.

                      these wheels should have come on the car with aspire brakes from the factory. i have them on mine and like them a lot. stock wheels/brakes are so inadequate.

                        Thanks everyone, the tires are 175/65 14's and they fit pretty good, the only big difference i'm noticeing is these tires don't make any noise if i start to lose traction :lol:

                              Well this mornin on my way to work i had to test out how much noise i could get the tires to make and once they get spinning fast enough they start to squeal :evil4: but no where near as loud as the other tires
