Station Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Just look how 'futuristic' these are! I don't reckon there's many wheels that came on standard cars out there that look as funky as these. They have that concept car look to them, like the wheels they put on space age cars at car shows. I bought these for £18 years ago and now having a proper clearout of stuff that I'm never going to use, but feel I'll at least miss them a bit as they look so mad. stillOrange, Laseraligningfoofooflanges, strangeangel and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asimo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 First rule of cool wheels: number of spokes shall be an exact multiple of number of wheel bolts. ok, nice wheel ok nice colour too ow, my angular symmetry senses hurt No, 5 into 7 does not go!

drum Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Deep dish land rover wheels for me The 569203 and to a lesser extent the '204 look great with 9 inch tyres. Unfortunately a scene tax has been applied and they're hard to get. I once got one on eBay for £12 but they're north of 200 a piece now. It's one of the reasons I had that ^ tacr1 shiplied up from London. alf892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I have liked these on a Camaro Z28 from the 70s, in the 70s I had a wall poster with one! Mrs 6C likes these 90s Chrysler wheels very much and I see her point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks exactly like a mate's pre-production V8 prototype I last saw being abused in off road trials around Aberdoom. I had a white H plate Tdi with the same wheels n stripes.
