I thought the Mini 1100 Special, 1983 Sprite, and (optionally) early Mayfair looked pretty smart with their 10-inch Exacton alloys. 

[Shite Ron]

Different cars suit different wheels, even down to trim level but I have always liked the Ronal alloys on early mk2 Capri Ghia’s ( The ones on the right)

From the aftermarket wheels, Cosmic an Dunlop D1’s are great, both already mentioned.

[Low ontime]

So many, I think 17” wolfrace voodoo suits most stuff unlike from the 80s and 90s.. 

[MiniMinorMk3]

The best 12" wheel for the Mini is the GKN that was used by the Mini Challenge cars.

I like the ones on the 99 EMS and GLE.

Vauxhall always done nice steel wheel designs in my opinion. However, I particularly like the alloys on the 1982-86 Carlton CD  @sutty2006 . Very easy to clean.

[Erebus]

Torq Thrusts on a muscle car

[vulgalour]

Always kind of wanted a metallic pink Vitara with the white floppytop and these wheels.

Anything made by Gotti :

The more I look at them, the more I think they’re more centre cap than alloy 🤣

[EyesWeldedShut]

[AndyW201]

In a similar vein to the Carlton alloys, these ones from the Cavalier SR/SRi 

My favourite old Merc alloys are the Lorinser LO, a replica of the OE 15-hole wheels with a dished polished rim,

[Nullzwei]

16 inch Mercedes gullideckel 15 holes, OE fitment on the 190e 2.5-16 evolution 1 model.

 

[EyesWeldedShut]

I actually rather liked the ones on my 940 - plain, simple with no fiddly bits to try and keep clean

[ETCHY]

Saab 99 turbo/ early 900 turbo.

Aren’t they just painted steel?  (Yes , steel is an alloy, I know).

I suppose technically, steel is an alloy.

As well as some of the above, I'm a big fan of

And 

All on the right car obviously. Later stuff can look good on Azev As I think

Easiest question ever, and here is the answer

Momo Arrows are the sexiest wheels on the planet.

[Stinkwheel]

Just to say it again, Turbo Vec's

[MiniMinorMk3]

[EyesWeldedShut]

Same era as the Nova GTE above - I thought these were much, much smarter than wot the XR3/XR3i came with.
(Allegedly these cars are now worth a mint - how did that become a thing?)
