RS 7 Spokes especially cool in 15" Capri 280 size.



DB7 i6 alloys, almost worth owning one just for the wheels!

TSW Stealth as a popular aftermarket option which encapsulated modified cars in the 90’s.

I remember when 15” wheels with 195/50/15 tyres were seen to be massive.

Stealths were great, I had them on my Orion. Althought Azev A's were what i really wanted.

Borbet C's were a great wheel as were BBS CH's

Always loved the wheels on the E46 CSL, they look great on the Z4M coupe as well.

TSW Venoms. They were everywhere as they were the cheapest alloy wheels to buy.

Borbet Cs were a nice dsign, just looked 'clunky' and heavy next to the Azevs

I've always favoured simple designs with 5 spokes - easy to keep clean. However, I did like the 7-spoke design that was standard on my 1987 Ford XR4x4.

I’m a big fan of the non-diamond cut Porsche centre locks. And a lot easier than people think to take off and put on.
