Default What Escort Wheels Do you Reccomend?

I have a 77 Mk 2 Escort.

At the moment I have origional wheels and hubcaps but would like to get some wider wheels that look shmik without looking to overdone. I would like to keep 13s maybe 14' but not sure what type i should get, no a huge fan of minilites or superlites or jellybeans, any other suggestions?

Thanks Guys

The Ghia alloys aren't bad. I put them on mine when I resprayed it and cleaned it up. they can be polished too. not sure the Cortina 14" ones fit, but definitely the 13's from Escorts do.. I had 185/65's on them.

I am a fan of minilites....
As an alternative I use to love Dragway 4 spokes...

I saw a set of the dragway 4 spoke and they look pretty sweet. But I missed the sniper war on eBay. Anyone know where I can obtain a set of dragways?

I think 15x6 at the back although this was on a MK1 and there is not alot of room under the back. Mini tubs though and a bit of dish would look hot!
