Cheers for your suggesting, I'm after sticking with 17" or 16" I'm personally not a big fan of ats cups but i do like the ones you have mentioned in my list purely because there based on the ferrari f40 style wheel and i'm a ferrari nut so always wanted a set of these :smiley: Again i don't like following the crowd and try to be original so bbs will never be put on my car sorry.

I'm a big fan of fat five spokes like TT comps or compemotive wheels as in my pics in white :smiley: other old style i like are borbet A's which i'd like also but i'm trying to get a set which requires minimal arch work. There already rolled just need pulling to fit anything upto 9" wide :sad:

I think the compomotives look cool but again in the proper 4x100 or 5x100 figment, but then I am partial to a set of schmidts....

This is all true im not a big fan of multifit alloys either like you say i think being able to see the stud holes puts me off alot and would rather wheels with centres covering the holes or atleast the correct amount showing so yeah compemotive and the modernlines are looking top at the mo :smiley:

Post by: Wayne on 06 May 2012, 21:44: Anything but multifit tbh, compemotive would get my vote

Post by: F17BAD on 06 May 2012, 22:31: white compo's are a classic

like the modern lines but in real life they always look tiny plus a bit common

the other deep dish near the top above the compo's look pretty cool too
