Gnarlton Banks Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Wheels are a very important part of the cars and trucks we drive everyday. A wheel that has been neglected and/or bent/cracked can lead to a blown-out tyre, which can ultimately lead to your demise! But that is not why I'm here. I want to discuss our favourite wheels. Whether you like them because of their strength, reputation, design, or simply aesthetics, you can post them here. Examples are appreciated, and pictures of the wheel on a car that you think they suit best would be great, since we all know that some wheels will look excellent on one car and terrible on another. So if you like rolling on anything from 12-inch Minilites to 22-inch Alcoas, post them here! I like Cragars SS on plenty of classic muscle cars, but there are other vehicles they can look nice on as well. I have a thing for wide-ass Watanabes. The Work Meister is nice.

Garfield 2 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I drive a Volvo V50 with 17" Scotia Wheels - these were only available in the US, UK & Ireland AFAIK. http://www.wheelwizards.ie/sites/default/f...tures%20046.jpg They look quite good on the V50.

Sup3rman Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Those are quite common for V50s and S40s. And they do fit the car well. I would say it depends on the car which rim to have. But to bring out something, the original Mazda 3 5-spoke rims 16" are very nice looking and suite the car well, at least as i look at the car we have. Simple but nice looking. I would say, the simpler the rim, the better looking it actually is. I do like some rims wich have more than 10 spokes, but it takes a specific car to use them. Oh and this ain't my car, just an example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well,maybe you can said so,the Breyton build specially for BMW Yes yes, I am aware of whom Breyton are and their reputation for selling largely overpriced tat whilst occasionally producing a good product. Kind of like a low-rent Hartge. Not a fan of the CH/CK clones personally, but some of their older designs are cool.

Gnarlton Banks Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Keystone Klassics are always... well... classic. Cragar has a lot of good muscular wheels. Nice truck wheels too. Ronal Turbos. BMW Turbine wheels/caps. 5-Slot magnesium. Doesn't get much more simple. Not a "wheel", but aero discs look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
