He's nailed it with these larger wheels. They look OEM+
Its all about OEM+ look on fords for me they had it nailed for me with the Rs's they only need couple touchs here and there exterior wise for me the buzz is the engines ect. Never get bored of them and genuinely interested and suprised by the dedicated few who really take it too the next level. ✌
Absolutely right there
I like the idea but for me they just look wrong and I must be the only one who thinks this.
I'd say they'd be better being wider with a different offset so that they fill out the arches for a nicer stance on the 3 door.
Top work by the guy though, they're obviously proving very popular.
He’s missed a trick not making them wider and with less offset so they sit better in the arches!
100%
My comment on ya last video was about a company making bigger old wheels - This must have been the guy I read about !!!
hey it me,,,,,,,ive got a 15" crack pipe,,,id like a 17" crack pipe,,,will this guy sort me out ? heuheuheu
I know there is a company called autostar that do 18inch escort cossie wheels
I really like the look but the only thing is they look a little bit too big as we’re so used to seeing the cars with the smaller 15” wheels and that retro look. I think I’d maybe have done them in 16” and a tiny bit wider to fill out the instep the original ones have. Just a personal preference. Cracking job though and such an interesting video Adam. Awesome 👏
The lattice saph wheels r stunning mate, defo learnt something about alloys and manufacturing. Thank fuck we have true ford nuts left who put there skills and $ where there mouths are. Wicked video mate hope you're able to follow where this goes mate.. Peace and thanks Sid
I follow Steve's build on Facebook,a very interesting guy and he really knows his stuff regarding design and manufactuer of bespoke parts on his Cossie.Great video as usual Adam.
I understand it's easier and cheaper to find tyres for a 17" but I do think 16" would look better IMO.
I think these wheels are amazing the concept looks fantastic on a Escort Cosworth 18" I have mixed feelings about a 17" would it be terrible to say 16" suites a Sierra as a standard alloy with a larger profile tyre
16“ tyres are expensive and few and far between especially for a decent tyre of you have a decent amount of power.
Should have been 8x17 and a slightly more negative offset
I'd go 8 inch width sit nicer on the arch kit
I'd like to see a handing test because both my Corrado and Golf VR6s had bigger 17inch wheels fitted and I changed them back to std sizes because the handling department was impaired by the bigger wheels and made both cars felt like they were on tip toes but they looked good with bigger wheels but I still swapped them, solely because of the diving feel.
This chap is in no way a vague person. He deals in facts and details. Very impressive to get a chance to have him on your channel.
That’s wicked. He could be onto a winner. A big market there not just for ford wheels but for other brands. I’ve got stock 16’s on my gc8 wrx and would love them in 17’s or 18’s
Fantastic video as usual I really appreciate the time u take to do these videos
The guy seems a very knowledgeable and genuine guy, I can imagine the response for these wheels will be amazing as said previously the Cossie owners have waited a long time for these.. good luck with the sales...
Great video, not a fan of the 17" 3dr remakes. Looks weird.
Sapphire look mint though clever man
no one makes 225/17 tyres. did he really say that
Seeing 15" for so long on these cars 17 " looked a bit off at first.
But the more I look through the car design of today they look right.
But should we be doing that?
Brilliant, very impressed 👍🏼
I follow the build of the RSR 500 Raptor on Facebook already. This man is incredibly smart! Steve's posts are long but very detailed in what he is doing. And when he posted he was doing the wheels I thought this guy is full on. But being in Australia I doubt we'll see a set of these wheels here. Be a shame not to. Adam thanks for doing this video.
Both sets of wheels look mint and attention to detail is spot on. Fair play to him for making them and I’m sure he’ll sell a fair few sets.
Im an Evo man, owning a 5 and 6 RS, but i really appreciate Cosworths and guys like this still developing new parts for them.
Those wheels make a huge difference, visually to both those cars.
I wonder if he does bigger wheels for the Escort Cosworth?
.Its a shame that parts for both Evos and Cosworths are getting so expensive ,as they get rarer, and the values shoot up.Its getting to the stage that they are becoming unobtainable for a lot of people that would actually drive them and enjoy them,rather than store them and make money on them.
Having been in family business metal manufacturing using CAD and stuff back in early 00's, I know the equipment bis expensive. He would be well proud of the product he has made, they are a piece of art. Really units the cars.
Image wheels do custom wheels and theyre like £2500 so id expect to be similar priced
These were £3500 before the cost of shipping increased.
Good effort but to skinny and weak offset, they sit in way to far. Mine are 8” et15 on my 3door.
Could easily add spacers Jamie 🤷🏼♂️
Plus most folks won't want to roll arches or trim them back now with the prices of the cars.
@@Adam151082 when you get some I will buy your splits 😜
Hi Adam, don't they look luvvvvvvvly, can imagine not going to be cheap but can understand what it takes to build, get tested to the highest standards, shipped etc,etc. Great video. Alex.
I was only looking at this on Sunday on Facebook the lattice wheels looked lovely
I have to comment again sorry but....This is England's Mechanical Engineering/Design/manufacturing skill and experience on show here! And, by the way this venture is obviously driven by this blokes passion for Sierra Cosworths! Bloody impressive video this mind. I Hope Paul Linfoot and Steve have each other's contact details mind Adam :-) Bloody good video this I hope it gets shared massive!
Brilliant 👍😯. Ford should've done this in the first place, although 15" was considered quite a large diameter in the mid to late 80s.
Really like the idea.must say I prefer the newer saph rims but the old 3 door ones it's just the outer bit looks a bit long but maybe that's cuz we used to seeing the older ones but fantasic job I appreciate the effort he gone through to design these the ford boys will really like these 17 in keeping with oem
They do look awesome fill the arch's that little bit more 👍
I want a cozzie!!! My dad worked at ford and I grew up in a small farmer village in the Netherlands where the present of the year was every time he showed up with the fastest car in the wide area. I’m 43 now, but it left its marks and explains me watching these videos. What a car. Just have to save some 40k euro’s..
I'm sure if you started doing replica RS 7 spokes diamond cut they would be a great seller especially if they are stronger then the genuine items👍🏻👍🏻
Let the man talk ffs
It’s my pet hate, fair play and not to knock anyone who does it but when I see the Escort Cosworths with the 18inch standard style rims in my opinion it totally detracts from the cars, if you are changing the wheels you have a few limited options with Cosworths, Rondells, and a few different style Compomotives.
they are all sorts of win!!!! this big thing in south africa oem wheels in big diameter 17/18 ect in oem wheels vaux volks ecet ect
Ford should of made them in 17" think the 15" wheel's just look lost in the archers
Them new wheels look 👌🏽 👌🏽
17 inch low profile road tyres weren't developed 36 years ago when the Sierra Cosworth was originally launched. 15 inch was considered to be a large rim size at the time.
They look amazing lovely looking wheels in the bigger size
Hi bud, I want those cossie lattice wheels. I'm in south africa and here we have the 3.0 models. Can't find cossie wheels here
That’s some dedication right there. Anything is possible in the world of 3D scanning. Great content and really interesting.👍
Seven inch looks too skinny on the 17 inch three-door wheel. If that guy's not careful he won't get his watch into every shot of this video...
Should have been on from standard
Nice to see a professional doing a proper job on designing and delivering these!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That was very interesting 👍
Really informative upload and the 17inch sapphire wheel will certainly make it easier to clean 👍
Look better in 8 inch wide
Keep us posted really want the 3dr wheels mine are 15 want them in 17 always have for years. 👍🏻
This is Pure Engineering porn for me like lol, Im a Toolmaker mate and this guy really knows his stuff like! very nice video adam
Very interesting ✌🏼
17" sharktooths would be epic too, lattice look fantastic in 17s
Interesting idea. Would love some 18” 850R Volans lol
Surely there must be a UK manufacturer that can help out? I’m sure on of the big names would love to get involved.
Probably won’t pay in small batch runs lot of work for not much return
Im one off that ppl that is looking for that sapphire wheels can u plz give me that guy contact info
He needs to expand and make all 80s and 90s car wheels bigger
Just dont like it. If its not original then your just devaluing a classic
They are perfect
Are these available to buy still, ?? Is like some on my 3door 😍
He knows his stuff !
Wheels look mint, but I thought he would of went wider on the back.
Great video Adam and theyre just right for todays world 🌎 👌
ask him for a stl file of that wheel i would love to make arange of cossie wheel clocks
They look decent
Love em! would love some 17in lattice wheels on my sapph
Hmmm i like them on the 2 door, but the saph ones are to big for me.
Much better than the originals
Hail hail 🍀
Possibly one of your best videos, enjoyed this one.
Fantastic video Adam 👏👏 love the technical talk. They look amazing !! OEM plus
Your 🤔 Its just the price . 🤣
what tire size use the 17 and 18 inch rim?
I ran 235/40/17 rear tyre on an 8j wheel at ET37 on a lowered car, the car on track and have had issues with rubbing. Arches were not rolled either. That was on a 2wd Saph, obviously a semi slick at 215 would be as wide as a 235 road tyre.
BBS centre lock nuts are 90mm
Nice design work, good concept be worried about quality control from China from bitter experience, even with in country purchasing and quality checks, quality is patchy
Awesome. We'll done that man.
I can appreciate the work that’s gone into the process…however neither wheel works for me. Just doesn’t look “right” especially the 3door wheels.
Where can I get a set of them sapphire 17s😍
Was great to meet you in the shop this morning. Fantastic channel.
Here is info about the sierra shell.
Best regards
Paul
During the life of the car, two different styles of 3-door body were used; one with two pillars rear of the door, looking very much like a modified 5-door frame, as used on the high-performance XR4i; and a one-pillar design used on standard-performance 3-door hatchbacks and also at the other end of the scale as the basis for the very high-performance RS Cosworth.
I worked with someone the week I bought a gsi 2000 a work mate bought a Cossie in the 4 years I had my cavalier my mate went through 8 cossies 6 sapphires an Rs 500 and an Escort Cossie all coming from well lane turbos Batley, this was about 92-93 to 97ish my cavalier was 3 years old when I bought his cars were all roughly the same year other than the D reg 500 and m reg escort
FEA - Finite Element Analysis. I did my final year dissertation on an own design alloy wheel for an Austin mini, I graduated in 2007, I bet FEA packages have come along since then.
Like this....Sapphire rim 👍
17inch 3drs 😍They would look awesome on a moonstone 3dr they look well on his white 3dr😁.
Defo agree with the 2wd white Saph with the Gingercators in
In my opinion that's the one thing ford should have done from the factory was fit 17" wheels to all the Sierra RS models from the 80's and 90's, big fan of the sapphire wheels 👍 shame there's only a few sierra's on the roads now 😩
never been a fan of aftermarket wheels, but these look spot-on. this bloke knows his stuff!
surely someone in GB can do a limited production run?
i bet you hope santa stops off in fulwell + drops some down a chimney this year ....
Makes such a difference.
I’ve always thought, there has to be a market for someone to make the escort RS turbo alloys that all go the same way.
Always annoyed me.
just looks wrong imo.
Hmm very interesting especially as the 15" tyres are difficult to get a quality tyre.
Wonder what the cost is🤔
😎👍🏻
Set for the 3dr when he does them 😎
Adam, Ask him to do you some 16inch three spoke vauxhall nova wheels that would be so good
Had no reply from you
Love the 3 door meshies but not sure on saph ones think it's one size too much. The saph sit too high I pics maybe a little bit more of a drop and I'll change my mind
They look terrible
Genius that guy is!
Be a lot of interest in these
Curious how much ?
Adam I swear you’ve got the whitest trainers on the whole of TH-cam
must get a set for my 3 door :)
Please don't rest the wheel against the bodywork! 😂 Lovely motor 👌
Awesome 😎
Adam what a humble guy and so noligable on wheels fantastic. You want a set don't you.
