Building on this page showing these interesting Isuzu rims:

 

 

Does anybody know of any more especially intriguing alloy designs that have come about ever? I like BX 16v and Renault 18:

 

 

 

Oh, and

 

[Spiny Norman]

Love the ones on the later CX.

 

 

Or the ones on the Lancia Montecarlo.

 

[face]

Ronal Turbo's:

 

 

MK1 Metro Turbo:

 

[Cavcraft]

Assuming aftermarket ones are allowed then there can only ever be one winner:

 

Momo Arrows. For the ultimate look they need to be in 16 or 17 inch fitment and bolted to a black Mercedes 190 or old C180.

Forgot RS alloys, I love 'em:

 

[autofive]

im a sucker for a cragar

 

 

but in real-world PCD, i have a soft spot for the dunlop D1

 

 

and in silly jap pcd, the wolfrace

 

[kinkersaab]

 

and these

 

 

quite like these too.

 

[Ross_K]

Those Ronal TeddyBears are proof that VW owners will buy any old shit.

 

ZX Volcane:

 

Mi16:

 

OZ Rally, but obviously you need a Lancia Delta to do them justice..

[Cavcraft]

OE stuff?

 

Cav slabs...

 

 

...ideally fitted to a subtle Nova with a slight drop, light body colour and C20XE engine, thankyou very please.

The 16" Prestige alloys on Mk1 800s:

 

 

My car has a set but 15" but the 16" are very rare indeed.

 

I also like the Mk2 800 Prestige alloys:

 

[Negative Creep]

Compomotive MO

 

 

 

Compomotive TH

 

 

 

Advan 3 spokes

 

[eddyramrod]

You can keep yer flat-faced FWD negative-offset 16" jobbies, the king of wheels was designed for real cars, where one set of 13" wheels does one job:

 

Total style.

[Largactil]

127 Palio wheels for me...

 

 

Preferably fitted to a 127 Sport

 

 

Or most Cromodoras...But especially these ones:

 

[kinkersaab]

Forgot about these...

[Timewaster]

*Ahem*

I spent more on these wheels than my next 3 cars put together

[R9UKE]

They're actually of the Renault 25, but the Safrane can pull them off I reckon...

 

[Guest]

Mo,

 

I think there's a yard near me with an 800 packing those wheels. I will try and find out if they're 15" or 16" for you.

 

In other news, I like this thread. I can contribute something other than swearing, unhelpful platitudes and an irrational hatred of most products VAG.

 

 

Once again, Isuzu waffles. We never got these on our Piazzas.

 

 

Here's what we got. FWIW, they look SHIT on Volkswagens.

 

 

Next, a Goodwood spec Speedline SL299, or a EYAH DEMS WON NYNE WEELS INIT.

 

 

Next, the rather lovely ARE Salt Flat Special. These are super expensive. You have to place a custom order with American Racing - the upside is that you can choose your PCD, offset and width. From three presets. I'm trying to buy a set I know of for my Amazon. Except without the centre caps. Too shiny.

 

 

The ATS Type 5. Don't know much about these, other than they're probably available in 4 x 100 and I'd like a set for the 460.

 

 

Another entry from ATS, these being the Cups. I've nearly bought a set of these seven or eight times. One day I will cave and a set of these lovelies will sit in my unit for time immemorial, gathering dust. Still better than being bolted to a pan scraping Volkswagen.

 

 

Finally, the Shelby ten spoke. I have a set of these for my Amazon. Eerm, as show wheels. Or something. Look, they were £200, what do you want?

 

 

Also, the countless Minilite variations of wheel available. Especially Watanabes. But not these above, they're Black Racing 01s. They're part of 5Zigen, or something.

[RoadworkUK]

I rather like the AMG Monoblock design, as Ford borrowed for the Scorpio.

 

 

One of these days I'm going to sell my 17s to some VAG scene cretin for revolting amounts of folding, and with the profits I shall pay off the mortgage, fit a conservatory, and possibly buy some wheels.

[Lufthansa-Terminal]

Beetle GT wheels

 

As you say on here Ford dartboards

[Formula Autos]

Surely any true Shitist should covet these above all else?

[willswitchengage]

Never tire of these. Simplicity, and white!

 

[Shep Shepherd]

Not strictly wheels, but I've always had a soft spot for the wheeltrims fitted to early Sierra Ls and GLs:

 

 

[boobydoo]

The wheeltrims found on the 70s Skoda coupe were quite smart I thought.

[Pete-M]

Very un-AS, I know, but I love these.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basically, I like wide wheels with polished rims. None of this flat shit that most FWD stuff comes with. XJR rims are an exception, because mine's got 'em.

[Justin Case]

My favourite wheels on my favourite Saab:

 

SAAB 99 EMS by VE100S, on Flickr

[ifc63]

 

These came with the MR2. Jap Import and the wheels are specific fit for the car but I'm buggered if I can remember the name of them without looking at the label stuck inside the wheel !

**EDIT** I had to look as it was annoying me not remembering ! They are Autostrada Modenas in 16" flavour.

[Wilko220]

Some crackers here. Also always liked these too:

 

[ProgRocker]

 

A bit off topic but older large cars look great in red.

 

Edit: Trigger - is that one of your photos?

[Cavcraft]

AMG Pentas

 

 

There was a wheel (if it wasn't these actual type) that used to be fitted to some XJ6 and XJS Jags and they're SRSLY fit.

[Wilko220]

Simple brilliance - and they look equally class on both models...

 

 

 

On the other hand though, I get irrationally pissed off at the sight of these Series 3 updates
