Nicest ever wheels??

[bunglebus]

Ford "dart-boards".

 

 

Phil

 

Tinnilites surely?

[Tetleysmooth]

 

I've got a set of these in my shed somewhere.

 

 

I have these fitted to my V70. Nice looking wheels and easy to keep clean.

[Supernaut]

 

[oldcars]

These for me.

[oldcars]

And these alloys. Vikings on the 75.

[bunglebus]

There are some very interesting choices on this thread, and I agree it depends entirely on the vehicle.

Here are a few that make me do a sex wee;

 

4-spoke Revolution;

 

 

Ford RS 4-spoke

 

 

American Racing 5-spoke;

 

 

These take some explaining to non-VW people I guess - fake Porsche Fuch wheels in wide 5 bolt pattern for early Beetles etc - look better than the originals IMO

 

 

Azev A;

 

 

Centerlines. Yum;

 

 

 

There are loads more but I'll add one I hate, and again it's a fake wheel for VWs. Empi style 5 spokes (nice) but with a late Bus bolt pattern - look horrific with the "ears" where the original bolt holes were meant to be.

 

 

Should look like;

I do like a good sunraysia! No.1 wheel for 4x4s

[NorfolkNWeigh]

I am a wheel and hubcap fetishist. There are some cars I would only have with particular wheel style and size.

For example MorrisItalSLX's love of the Jag Pepperpot, I couldn't own a S3 with them on, in fact in 1991 I had a beautiful B reg 4.2 that I got for next to nothing off my employer. The first thing I did was go to MWS in Coventry and buy a brand new set of GKN Kents ( for, I think £50 per wheel!). This could have been because of my Equaliser fantasies, admittedly.

Mk2 Granadas- TRX or steels. Nothing else!

 

 

NOT

[sierraman]

I like those 90's Mondeo GLX swirly type trims or the povo spec XR3i white hubcaps.

[New POD]

Always liked these for some reason:

 

I've seen them on a mini and they don't look wrong.

[Talbot]

I think a set of these:

 

 

Would look perfect on a CX, especially if the single bar was colour coded to the car.

 

Single spoke steering wheel, single spoke wheels...

[NorfolkNWeigh]

 

I'll take my Challenger with " Cop wheels ..." Thanks. Oh and a 700bhp Hellcat engine, painted white, for those modern day Kowalski fantasies.

 

I actually tried to buy some of these 18" Police spec steels for my 300C, there were none in the country and used ones in US were £800 a set plus shipping and duty. I could have bought 22" alloys with tyres cheaper!

[davocano]

Everybody knows that Wolfrace slots are the bestest wheels of all time.

Yes they are, shut up.

This is probably the only highlight of a particularly ugly thing.

 

 

[Dave_Q]

BMW style 32 (yes I'm a council scummer at heart)

 

[dozeydustman]

 

"Princess Anne" alloys are a fine alternative to the Wolfie Superslot. On a Scimitar.

 

 

I also like Cosmic Mk2s as well. But 4 stud only. They look weird at 5 stud/10 spoke.

Please tell me they are handed.

 

Astra Gsi Fan Blade alloys look great one way round but wrong the other way.

I think that's Patrick Ruggs gaff

Metrics, though.

 

 

I liked these:

 

 

 

[tinribs]

I have liked these ever since I first saw them waaay back in the early 90s.

 

[Parky]

I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again

 

Dance while the record spins!

 

The other thing I am known to say is the Dunlop D1 wheel on a Mini is one of the greatest works of mans creativity across the ages. Rodin, Michaelangelo and Botticelli cannot compete and a set of these should be in the National Gallery

[AlabamaShrimp]

Haven't we already had this thread?

 

Anyway have a very predicable one from me

 

[bangernomics]

Mmmmm momo arrows in the day. Whenever that was

[Steve79]

Either Compomotive TH MONO or Nissan Maxima alloys do it for me

[davocano]

VOTE POST-WAR MISERY (this might explain my love of the slotmag (in my own mind anyways)).

 

[Sigmund Fraud]

Because wire wheels are naff :

 

[davocano]

Yeah, it does.

 

 

[davocano]

For surely.

 

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Because wire wheels are naff :

 

You are the winner!

How could I forget Dunlop Racing wheels. A few years ago there was a Bentley Continental with these on parked in Eton Square, think it was prepared for an overland trip or something, sump guard, modern headlamps etc, but I've never found a picture of it.

So, here's Mr Bean in his "lightweight" Mk7

A few personnel favorites;
