I think the Hercules Wheels (as in Roadster or 05+ MY Coupe) are a bloomin work or art...but then I am somewhat biased! biggrin

The Hermera wheels do look a little more modern/sharper

But that photoshop attempt doesnt show off the bit I like about the Hercules wheels the best, and thats the 'deep dish' effect on the Hercules rears (the photoshop makes them look flat)....check out my profile pic to see what I mean.

Buy the first set that show up at a cheap price, they both look good. If paying full price I would take the roadster ones due to the back wheel looks, same as Moz. iirc the Roadster ones new are £2500 ish per wheel, not sure about prices on the other wheel pattern.

It was just for my Murci.

My plan was if I took the Murci offsale this week I would upgrade the brakes to the later -07 model brakes, but to do that you need the bigger wheels as they don't fit underneath my current wheels.

Been offered a deal on a set from eurospares, James is doing them for just over 4k without tyres but the price I can get Hermera wheels including tyres is nearly the same. All we're talking is like 200 quid more for Hermera's, but if I take the wheels from him he's doing me a super deal on the brakes.

Anyway thats my thinking as I can't be bothered with over-list bollox and TBH I really love my car just fancied a newer egear as manual can be a handful and tiring for the amount of miles I do!!

After a few weeks of Tom being around Fiona thinks she'll most likely not be driving it so hence the reason for maybe just taking the car off sale as she's not really bothered about me seling it now. Plan is to maybe just get a 911 to add to the stable.


And Fi thinks the Hermera look better.

Paul, you worry too much about what Fi thinks mate!

Tell her to get stuffed and buy her own car if she is going to be such a thorn in your side on the Murci mate! biggrin

You are always wibbling on about whether Fi likes this or the other....cars are the man thing...get her a nice new kitchen or something!

She got a nice new Gucci watch and a diamond bracelet for the bringing me a handsome son so thats her furnished, hence why I'm looking at upgrades!!

Are the Roadster wheels easy to wash as I hate wheels that are PITA to wash, Masa wheels were a bitch!!

The Hercules rims (not sure why people keep calling them Roadster rims...they were standard fit on MY05+ Murci's IIRC) are a piece of piss to clean. Although looking at them, I would imagine the Hermera rims are easier as they are plainer in design and 'flatter' in profile.
