5 SPOKE ALLOYS with my TAROX Big Brakes!!
« on: 08 August 2008, 15:08 »
I was having a bit of a dull day and wondered what 5 spokes would look like on my car and HEY PRESTO.............. :grin:

What are everyones thoughts on how they look? (good and not so good too please!)

Yes, I know the tyres are pants, but it is just a tester to see how they looked.

Alloys weigh 0.8 kg less than the Pescaras, so not much in it.

Not necessarily keeping these alloys, but I'm open to other 5 spoke suggestions too :cool:

Could do with a better side profile shot to give better judgement... from those pics, they look ok but not the best design

Not for me either, but I'm sure you already know, alloys along with other styling mods are a very personal subjective thang!  :wink:

Hmm, not my cup of tea, sorry!

I still stand by my view that I have never ever seen a set of alloys which looks better than the 18" Monzas  :smiley:

Bonnet is CF and the gas strut pushes it up slightly. Sits flat with the strut off though.

Okay, opinions are split on these 5 spokes. Apart from Monza II's (which are lovely but are too common and have the "worm" issues) does anyone have any alternatives - with pics preferably :smiley:
