Spottedlaurel Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Advan A3As, as fitted to a model I built: And this RAV4 has a different style 3-spoke to the one a feew posts back: I like them here, they suit the slightly futuristic look. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the other side, so I don't know if they're directional, but I'd say this is the right way for an angled spoke. yes oui si 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 My god, I thought the teddy bears and daisy wheels were bad. Here are the Mustang wheels mentioned earlier, I don't hate them but they don't exactly please me either The reason I started this thread, Ka 3 spoke. I'm not a fan of Ford's teapot but these do quite suit it wheel nut and face 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warch Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Antera three spokes from the early 90s, here modelled by the ill fated Max Power Project Thunder. IIRC they were 17's which was the holy grail of yoof car culture back then, you'd put up with buggered handling, tyres rubbing on arches and heavy steering all day just to say you had 17s. mercedade, Tenmil Socket, 500tops and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I used to own this, I should have changed them! * I sold it in 2017 and see it to still MOTed and taxed, I wonder if it still has those horrid wheels!* DoctorRetro and inconsistant 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheel nut Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Continuing from the 3-spoke alloys offered on the Nova, Vauxhall produced a selection of 3-spoke designs for some of the earlier Corsas. Personally I prefer the Nova alloys to any of these. adw1977 and bunglebus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachie Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Also, my old Golf Country, complete with Autoshite private plate and winter tyres that came as extras with the car when I imported it way back in 2000. That would have made a great collection thread. One way flight to Munich, money belt full of cash, not knowing whether I was about to meet up with Josef Fritzl and an epic drive back home. I got rear ended in commuter traffic one day, and it was never the same afterwards due to difficulty in getting hold of parts. Amazingly for one of my old cars, it is still on the road.

Had the middle ones on one of my old acclaims sans centre caps thought they looked alright. Was more fun squealing on the standard steels to be fair as seem like I recall more grip showed up other flaws. Can’t remember rightly to be honest (smoked a lot at the time). Is highly possible maybe I just liked the tyre squeal on the skinny 13’s. Always rated venoms over soft line three spokes, still do now. Adding to the thread.

yes oui si Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Three spokes are best spokes.

The ones on the red one earlier in the thread look like OZ Cygnus.

I saw it on ebay a few months ago (G11 AWD) Those are BBS BT011s, and I actually came here to post about them! BT stands for Benetton, they should have green centre caps that say 'Benetton Formula 1', and a little coloured graphic cast into one of the spokes. Tried to buy a set recently as there were some in Abergele, on my way to Shitefest, but they sold in the prior week. Dabooka and coachie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
