if you got some hubcentric spacers that have off set studs with the pcd for ford fitment (108 pcd) then they would fit.

Don't Image make a copy of that wheel? Surely that would be easier than getting those to fit.

Beat me to it, but i've heard they can be bad news for wheel bearings?

and they are made for a rear wheel drive car, you need the supersport alloys exactly the same except fitted to the mk1 fiesta that was front wheel drive obv so have the right off set etc

You could also run these beauties:

I think they are very similar to the RS's wheels... They are 4.5 or 6" wide and often sold in France (they were the official wheel for the 'Leyland Innocenti Trophée' in France)
