Which wheels do you like?
« on: July 14, 2003, 03:51:09 AM »
I currently have these on my car;



but have always loved this design (very similar to the 360 Modena, mmm).



Roh are an excellent Aussie brand, and they are very cheap in price too.

Anyone seen any really hot wheels lately (any brand)??? I was considering changing them for something different. Have to be 17"x 8\'s or it messes with the speedo.

Take the car in and your speedometer can get fixed in just a few minutes.  What kind of car do you have?  Makes a big difference.

This is what I want:

Yeah, i have an FTO. The GTS rims are ok, but too chunky for a car like an FTO.

I hate chrome rims, much prefer the steel look.

I don\'t like the rounded look like tyrant had.  I like the nice straight deep 5 spoke.  I would want brushed aluminum or gunmetal gray for my car.

They\'re all horrid, I know there are huge differences in what is considered tasteful from country to country but \'Fast and The Furious\' cars just make me laugh.

The UK is starting to get taken over by the lurid paintjobs and tasteless stickers and it really pains me, whatever happened to style?

Is making the opponent laugh heavily the only way to beat them from the lights?

I always figured wheels should compliment the car, there isn\'t a car on earth this new breed of styling accessories could match with.

Edit: I did go out on the web to get some pictures of decent wheels but could only find one set from OZ Racing that I\'d consider tasteful, the F1 Cup wheels in 17", the rest are just terrible chrome abominations or silver set-squares mounted in large alloy rings it seems.

So post a pic of what you think is descent?

Although I greatly agree with you that most of the wheels out there are absolutely ridiculous.

The F1\'s

- Very Japanese these ones

- Pushing it as there are more holes and crap than is actually required.

- Classics these ones, they really are.

I\'d have the 1st set, you can get them in black with yellow writing, perfect for my bright yellow car.



Yes, my car is yellow, no, it\'s not a lurid colour like pink or fluro lime green with mirror chrome stickers and a circular ham slicing blade on each corner!

No offence Racer, the FTO is a lovely car, one that I\'ve lusted over in the past for a long time (Gran Turismos fault!), but, please do those sleek lines justice.
