In my opinion the ones shown on the car with the tyres on look like they suit the car very well...the non-tyred ones look a little bland

....there done...that was an easy election wink

I just noticed that the ones on the car look like the tyre is rather further inside the wheelarch than standard. Is the offset of the wheel the same as the originals? The other wheels shown without tyres look like they have an even greater offset. Difficult to say from photos.

Cheers guys
The ones on the car with tyres were purchased extremely cheap - less than the cost of the tyres (sometimes lucky on ebay) so were used just to make the car mobile while the rebuild happened - only I am warming to them. The others again were cheap as offered when I bought the car. Just not sure of them.

I have 15" slots which need a refurb as well shabby. Also a set of new minilites.

Really only want 2 sets not 4

Hi Mick,
The ones on the car with tyres on look the dog's danglies :thumb up:

The wheel without the tyre looks bcensoredy awful. vomit

Minilites really suit the S if you like a retro look. As per Phillpot's.

The original OZ slots, standard for the S1, are getting hard to find now, I am very happy with my refurbed ones in Flash Chrome powdercoat by The Wheel Specialist.

You have a set on Minilites!!!! Debate over, get them fitted. Can't put my finger on why but they just look absolutely right. If you do not fit them I might make you an offer!!!!

I think the ones without the tyres look better out of those two, but that's just my opinion.

The ones without the tyres look like they should be on some kind of Judge Dred machine. They also look as if they have been designed specifically to seek out kerbs and get scuffed to bits.
Just my opinion...I'll get me coat.

I think they look a bit like Speedlines or Compomotives, but then not quite as nice.

Standard S wheels are pretty hard to beat on an S for me. They just 'work'.

Hi Mick

Bit on the fence but I like them all, not much help I know, I do think it's down to what you like and not what others like, you have to drive and look at it.

...and if you do and the ones in the pic with tyres on would fit a standard S, then I would be happy to help you make garage space and I wont charge either... wink
