anyone any idea what these wheels are?

Saw this car for sale on ebay, and really fancy the same wheels for my 500. Anyone any idea what they are?

Look like these to me.

I think they are called Chavster looking at the style - don't do it....

Look quite nice to me. Don't take too much notice of the remarks you get on this forum as any visual modification seems to be described as chavster or chavish or whatever.

Ooh ahh,who,s rattled hes cage

[gav2612]

Not looking for Chavster look, just wanting to update the small size 16" 15" set up on the chim, thought these suited the car quite well.
I agree with not messing with original design, but Do you think if the chim had been launched today it would have come with these tiny wheels? Probably not, the tuscan now comes with 18"'s!!

Nothing to get personal about, just don't understand how one set of aftermarket wheels are chavish and another individual's choice are not. Its something that comes up on this forum a lot and I just dont get it. It would be a boring world if we all had the same taste.

[andy-w]

if everyone got the same wheels as me i am sure the world would be a happier place....

some people like chrome wheels, some dont...they are definately not the worst wheels i have seen on a chim...then again they are not the best...still, the car looks good and probably worth the money...

And is a lot nicer to drive on 16s (at least the Mk1 was)...

Chav = as big as one can fit on a given vehicle (just), chrome/bling, designed for shock value rather than to compliment the lines of the car, baroque aapearance with lines, curves and creases that have no function, as cheap as possible for the given size so they weigh a ton, nearly always adorned with rubber of the Okey Kokey 2000 variety.

Mission: shout "LOOK AT ME (I'm a t****r)" as loudly as possible

Non-chav = sensibly sized for the best possible balance of ride/handling on a given car based on experience/insight of folks that know how to set up a car, high quality items from companies with motorsport background(BBS/OZ/Team Dynamics et al), lightweight cast or forged using the lastest techniques, purposeful motorsport-derived design that doesn't draw undue attention to itself and 'gels' with the body style, often matt silver/titanium coloured, antracite or black, shod with top brand ultra high performance road or even road/track hybrid tyres befitting the overall performance level of the car.

Mission: fitness for purpose

All IMO o'course.
