Have just fitted these Centrelines to 'Moose' of Minor Mania ' fame. they come as is, or as the Proline with 12 machined holes rather than the plain face.
( yes I know two wheel nuts are missing)

They look great! I'm a big time fan of the retro style wheels, the proline wheels look good too.
The tires look a little on the small side (diameter) for that style though. Do they make that wheel in 14 inch?

15x6 only I'm afraid. Tyres are 195/55/15 Toyo's. I agree for the full retro rod look 65 or 70's would look better. Despite the solid nature of the wheel they are very light.

Not my cup of early grey I'm afraid Jonno,
perhaps you could do a pic of the whole car with them? Might give a better idea of what they actually look like...

sorry jonathon, I go with dan, they do not do it for me... the important question is... Do you like them and if the answer is yes, who cares!
I feel sure that plenty of people do not like things I have done to my cars but I liked them ( well most of the time ) and that is all that matters.

Think I prefer the Prolines to be honest, although these look pretty good in the flesh. Reason I posed the question was that these are the first to be available in Ford PCD and we ordered one of each type.

Jonathon I love them! I will stick to my slot mags but you are on to a winner with these.

Alloy wheels are a very'personal thing' - if you like them thats good enough!

Prolines are nice - can you get them in Minor PCD?

We could but these are special order unfortunately with production runs every 2 months if we are lucky. They are also ET 20's so would need to try one before commiting.

I think these look ghastly!! On ANY car - not just the Minor.

They look awesome on a "resto cal" beetle, (i.e dropped to the floor and covered in chrome!) but not sure they look right on much else....

as others, I agree that any custom mod is personal choice.
IMO these would suit an american lowrider or something cal looked, but are mixed metaphores when on a Minor with standard chrome.

As you may have gathered in the past, I love'em, especially without the 'oles. Just since we're all commenting...

I think they look great, the solids would be my choice. Would work best on a car with a rubber rake and nose down stance.

as previously said it is a personal thing.
Personally me I don't think they work. They are nice just not on a minor.
15 inch minilights, steels or pug 15inch speedlines oh yes please.
