I don’t have an option to vote.
Similar to SR I don’t like polished designs from a longevity point of view. They’re designed for markets where one changes to winter wheels before the salt spreading starts. Almost all car manufacturers use diamond cut wheels and have done for some time so it’s far from just VW. It provides good income for refurbishment companies in the UK.
I think the Richmonds look ok side on but I’m very fussy about visuals and the fact they are far too inset bothers me a lot.
I’ve opted to change them for a multitude of reasons but don’t actually hate the design.
As Joe says, the telephone dial Monzas are iconic but from the Austins onwards the wheel designs are just generic and not very sporty unless an upgrade is chosen.
