Default Venoms

I know ill get slated for this but here goes. Im thinking about getting some venoms that are currently on ebay as I like old skool wheels.

Does anyone have any pictures of rs turbos with venoms fitted?

Cheers

Cor I remember those. They were the wheel to have. Then they were the wheel to never ever be seen with. lol Car fashion is such a fickle thing

thing is now nobody has them due to being discontinued years ago it could well work quite well. if not they could always make a good winter wheel.

Hate to say it but have to agree with the above......i mean shellsuits were cool back in the 90's but much like the venoms are something that should be left in the past

I have some Momo Arrows for sale which are 16" and the correct offset etc for an rs turbo. A retro wheel which still look acceptable IMO

i remember those wheels. Every nova and fiesta were going round with them. Retro cool if you ask me. Ive got wolfrace voooodoos on mine as thats what was the wheel of choice 11 yrs ago when i was 16 and waiting to turn 17 to start learning to drive. All i dreamed and thought about owning was a red series 2 with 17inch voodoos but mum and dad wouldnt let me have one as my first car lol.
