Ooof....so many choice! So what do you think? With Sprint wheels. Alleycats. Exactons, in black Exactons, in white Plain Lotus steels Lotus steels in black - kinda And full on - with chrome trim caps These are on eBay at the moment: cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=463114004And I think they're Lotus steels - certainly same design compared to other pics I've looked at? Anyone? Also, anyone in Cardiff to collect/store for money? ;D cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4632228525There are also Compomotives... and these are the Exactons: cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4632859677Never seen them before! So opinions? Any alternative suggestions? If anyone comes up with an idea I can photoshop it. Just crossed my mind that Rover MGTF alloys might look alright, but a bit 'curvy' I apologies for the hasty p'sing - my mind suddenly filled with possibilities via eBay and had to blat them out ;D OT - gotta love eBay - last night I got a set of brake cylinders, cause mine are shot - both brand new in box, for 20 quid posted. They are 22 quid new. Each Bargaintastic!

Yea - Sprint wheels are dead tasty - but every Dolly on the planet seems to be shod with them these days!

i like either the black exaction wheels, or the full on lotus steels with all the chromy bits. They go with the rest of the car, but are still a little different

The Aleys work for me! Sprints like some decent dish so they look cool, as do the sprint rims. I hate to say it but they also suit Minilites even though they are a cliché
O/T some mucca has taken to parking his bimmer 745i (not bangle shape one before) outside our office. Christ on a bike the wheels are huuuuge and have so much dish I could move our office into them and still have space! Sounds pretty boss too!

If I put minilights on, a certain Mr. P will probably self-implode and wipe out a small section of Lincolnshire. Best avoided, eh ;D The muntego rims - well, don't really like em. Too fussy

I like the black Exactons, then the Alleycats, then the Lotus steels (polished).

I'm liking the sprints best so far, but how about a touring car look? lower the car a little and stick some Compomotive CXRs on thats the wheels on my GTM they work really well on some older shapes even with being a fairly modern styleeeee.

Rrrrr! Nice ;D What size width would that be? I have no idea how to 'fit up' to suit. I think you can get away with 6" under a standard Dolly arch. Look good though. Could be in black too ;D -quick edit for truth- Urrgg splurge. Yea, those look the dogs ;D

Hmm. I got the measurements there, I understand the Back depth (from back of hub to inside edge of wheel) but what effect does the ET have
I know it's the offset, but if a wheels' back depth of say, 112, and has an offset of +34, what does that add up to?
Hmm.....white, black or silver ;D
