Nicest ever wheels??

Recommended Posts

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

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 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!

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!

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.

Please tell me they are handed.

 

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

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

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
