Nice, but would look great with black centers and just a polished rim, would these be 17's then

Not sure on black centers. They are 17's

The original are 17" too

Very striking but, they would look fabulous if they were flush with the body which would be difficult due to the large diameter. Between a rock and a hard place!

Off tack, I know but if you look between the seats where the 4 point harness would go through ,can anyone see a person holding a mobile phone to their ear,(just half a side of head), or should I get out more!

Perhaps a bit too plain - have you had a look at the centreline range - similar style, but with a bit more detail. I prefer them to what you have on though.

I really like those.
Keeping with the 'spoked' theme of before, have you considered a set of white Compo MOs? I know they're common cossie/ford fodder but I reocn they might suit the black theme.

They wouldn't be the style I'd choose. I think 'shiny' should be for accents, not for large areas.

I'd go for something like these

Yep, satin or matt black centers,chrome rims

I like'em Nice billet/moon disc look without the fussiness/flashness of spokes

I'd go for slot mags.

they look a little too plain for me. But then i didn't like the Halfords style wheels the car currently has, at first but they have grown on me.

As you're going for the Hot- Rod style, how about a set of Foose wheels!

These are available in 17"

or maybe I've watched too many episodes of "Overhauling".

This is probably best reason for my choice. I like the polished look for it's smoothness to match the rest of the car

Quite right too, IMHO

Post by **Onne** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 8:06 pm

I really like the style of them... maybe a litlle "M" in the middle?

Post by **wanderinstar** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 9:53 pm

Probably seems a daft question. But how do they fasten on?

Yeah I thought of that just to finish them off

Wanderingstar- if you look carefully you can see a small circle around the middle this is removed and bolts are underneath

Or maybe MOG <laffin>

Think the chrome looks a bit too bright under the cool black... like the smooth idea though, can you get your mate to mock up another pic with the rims polished and the centers in black ?
