im wondering what everyone elses tastes in wheel are like..............and have been through the years.....

obviously speedlines would be well up the list(if not top)

i also loved tsw alpines in the day aswell...

another set that sticks in my head.....were antera 143's(i think was the model number)

there used to be a blue nova with a gsi/m3 front bumper.......and a set of these in 17 inch on it

it was in quite a few magazines in years gone by..............but ive no pictures:confused:

it might have been a 2.0 8valve turbo now when i start thinking about it

does anyone know the car i mean?????????

ANYWAY...............WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE WHEELS THEN FOLKS:thumb:

I like Pro Race 1.2's but thats only becuase they are lite. I almost got a set but was out bid :(
The RL7's are also a very nice wheel

TH2's are an awful wheel though. Thankfully compomotive corrected that mistake with the TH3 which is a sexy wheel.

19-08-07, 02:55 PM
I Like a whole array of wheels as each car has a certain kind of wheel that just set's it off. For mine the under stated look or the cav gsi wheel suits it just right imo (even more so after loosing the red pin stripe). I also prefer the weight of them when on track, yes i know it is a twisted theory but on track the package works as intended with good effect as proven (light isnt always best ;) .

i like the corsa SRi 5 spokes in black on a white car, thats what i'm gonna do eventually. Also i'd like to see the new tigra 5 spoke on a nova (photoshop anyone) or them new corsa 10 spoke ones on the new new corsa in the normal color think that would look nice.

Cav Cesaro's & suchlike don't count then?

as instigator of the thread................i'll explain that i more or less ment ha ha


whats everyones favourite name/type/style of wheel ever seen fitted to vauxhall novas:thumb:


i was kind of expecting a few more pictures to appear..............so some of them would be nice indeed folks

we should actually do a poll of the top runners...............and sticky it:thumb:


it would b interesting to see how new users...and opionons of styles would change over a long period of time


its just a thought.....as i would immagine wheels are the most important part of the car

and that would achieve what exactly :wtf:

i wasnt aware it had to achive anything :(

it was more as a thread ....voicing peoples opinions on wheels/styles of wheels........as looks change from season to season.......so you could look back and laugh at how naff some were....................or how long some styles stick arround and never go out of fashion

maybe a poll wasnt a good idea then........:confused:

It always looks like you couldn't afford any wheels, so you went to the scrappers if you had cav slabs..... Or had them nicked (if you are a scouser-Ian???)
