Always like TSW Blades on E30 BMWs Used to be all the rage in the 90's. Do you think I can find a picture now? All google came up with was a smashed up one from pistonheads

sadly the only digital pic of my old e30 is front on so you cant see the wheels :-(
dubmaster- Borbets are a great choice! i only recently missed out on a set of Cs in 16x7.5, were destined for my corrado. found some Speedline Torinis instead which are also a bit of a late 90s wheel.

This v v v I like. That would stand out in a sea of BBS and no mistaking, don't get me wrong I like BBS wheels too just it is nice to see something a little different. Also as has been said they bring back fond memories. I can remember seeing more curbed to dash sets of venoms than any other wheel, most of them must be cheap bmx's by now ;D

Have some 17" Venom awesomness - ready and waiting for some rubber: that brings me back! I used to have satin black 17" venoms on my bug back in the early '00s. Loved 'em. I was one of only two or three folk in the country running 17" wheels on a bug. Rode like a cattle truck

I don't necesarily think it's the design of Venoms that's unpleasant it's the inti-dish. Personally, I don't really like rims where the spokes hang out beyone the rim. I'm not even that keen on totally flat faced wheels. I think Venoms can still look good on cars as has been shown in some of the pics in this thread, but like any wheel, there's the right applications and the wrong ones. Here's a good example of a wrong one. My old S13 Silvia had them when I got it...

Just for fun as i 'bumped' this thread before with my cars. I will show you one of my raddos: Oh and the Venoms are now painted black and on a Nuggart yellow raddo haha I will get pics of that soon. I'm sure when i choose a new suspension kit the yellow one will pull them off.

I've got a set of 16" TSW Honkenheims weighing in the wings for a time when I can afford to put new tires on them. The 15" to 16" price jump in nuts! Here they are seen on my old GSR parts car, with some cut springs to better fit. They have over sized tire on them in this shot. They came from an R31 Nissan Skyline. I think I need about a 45 side wall. I forget now. Maybe in a few years this will be "period correct" movement of 90s stuff?
