What are the usable Wedge Wheels Alternatives out there? I am considering a change and would like to see which ones work well. Any ideas with pics available?

Compared to some, I think they look quite good, they don't overwhelm the rest of the car. I'm sure someone will disagree !

The ones on F411... are OK but those low-profile tyres look stupid IMHO.

How about white wall inserts for the tyre. It would look great on a black or a red wedge.

Have to say that I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to wheels. I think the original latice wheels on the 350 look really good. If that's what you have already, what about colour coding the centres (if not already done)? The OZ split rims look good on any Wedge. Still around, albeit mostly 8 x 15, so you'd need to do some checking on fitment. Some of the styles above are just too modern IMHO, and don't work with the '80s Wedge shape.

Yes they do but I am Bias.

The offset and aftermarket wheel option on the wedge is actually a really easy work around. If you go looking for the standard offsets alone the choice collapses. Correct the offset with bespoke spacers and the world is your oyster. PM if you need any help.

I too like the original lattice style, but want to up the size to 16".

I'm thinking of getting some of these with black centres www.imagewheels.co.uk/large_wheel_pages/bb5.html

James, I would strongly advise against that, based on my own dealings with that company. PM me if you want to know more.

I have read mixed reviews them, it's true. But Str8six had nothing but praise for them when they were building the Tuscan Vulcan and all the reviews I've seen are a few years old so maybe they have improved? I'll drop you a line all the same.
