Save for the negative offset.

Perfect for what? - you don't own anything they'd suit.
Wrong era altogether really!
They look quite nice on Alfa 75s.... obviously those are the wrong stud pattern, though.
Mind, if I do end up getting wheels for it, I'll probably get some cast-offs from someone upgrading 16s to 18s on a 156 / GTV / Spider.

A retarded colour admittedly but that could work in your favour if you are willing to repaint the centres? 4x100mm though... but I imagine they would still bolt on? I was going to buy them to mount slicks on the front for the
1/4 mile and hill climb.
I have allot more admiration for OEM alloys now my taste in cars has matured, infact I am now in the process of (hopefully) purchasing some refurbished 8x15 Rial alloys originally designated for a E30 325i sport. Which is the only reason i'm not buying those compomotives (although I still might if I can get them for £60ish).
Apart from the fact that they don't fit your car.....
Are you sure they're going to fit.... I'm not.
The styling wouldn't be relevant for track days!
Would be a shame to see them wasted on doing a few track days in a shopping trolley when they should really be on a MkI / II Escort.
Mantas are 4x100mm, admittedly they are -7 ET but the 300/325lb springs I am going to buy are only -15mm and they are only 7" wide which should leave enough arch space... if not i'll flogg them on MigWeb!
The offset is massively wrong, which doesn't only affect clearance in the arch. It'll more than likely f*ck up the handling.
You don't just have to worry about the offset and the PCD - there's also the centre bore - if you get that wrong the wheels will never sit on the hubs properly.
Not really.
Sure you dont want a set of Sierra 7 spoke alloys? Will be putting them on ebay when i get chance
If only they would fit under your arches :)

Aye, but at 8x13 they'll protrude.
Maybe! :)
What's the size and offset?
Ideally, I want 6x13s with an offset of around 30 to 35.
All things being equal, 6x13s and tyres will be lighter than 14" or larger.
And better yet, it will annoy Dan, 'cos he thinks only kiddy toys need 13" wheels. :)
But surely it will prove my point :-)
Heh, no, not really. ;)
so what? it will look great :)
You arn't going to get much better than this:

7x15" so they won't look stupid either :)

Either the guy's selling them individually, he's got 4 whole sets of them, or he got a bit confused when setting up the auction.
