hi everyone ive got a seriesone rs turbo with 17'' voodoos on thinking about going back to standard rs wheels or even standard but diamond cut what do you all think as im torn between the two

Benni

Standard, no discussion needed mate.

diesel

i like both but i like big wheel so the voodoo's

sexr3i

Voodoo's are a nice wheel but do what you like best mate. Everyone seems to be running standard rims nowadays?

charlieboy

well it did have all round clear lights but in the middle of restoring it & its going back to origional amber lights brand new head lights & spotlights but didnt know if it would look right with amber indicators & voodoos or the standard wheels with the rest of the standard look

diesel

i would leave it with the clear's and the voodoo,s the standard look is allright but i think the car looks ALOT cleaner with clear indecators and side reapeters

It makes me happy to see that I'm not the only one who is been anal about my wheels.
voodoos and clear indicators look the best in my opinion, like they said looks cleaner.
but then I like the feel of 15's (nice and nimble).
Ive a red s2 and Ive got some diamond cut standard alloys with white recesses, they look the bollocks at night but then I think the look tacky in the day
I want some dare v1's in the dark grey/black finish they look mean but then they probably dont look that good if I go for 15's.
get rich buy a few sets and change them with your mood it seems to be the only soloution, but then who could be arsed!!!

charlieboy

i didnt like it with the clears origional lights kind of break up the white put a bit of colour into the white anyone got any pics of s1's with origional lights in but on voodoos?

jonnyrsturbo

std, voodoos are shite!

charlieboy

i thought voodoos where common on s1's so thought about standard or something different im sure ive seen one on 18' compo's if not std looking good

jonnyrsturbo

17'' rs 7spokes diamond cut! or comp mo's 6spokes in white!

you got a pic so we can see?

charlieboy

not at the moment will put post up as soon as retro takes off (shortly) dont like 17' diamond cuts there as common as voodoos white or silver compo's sound good.

jonnyrsturbo

i ment comp mo 5spokes not 6

Inc rear clears? PM me if you are selling them
As for wheels, whatever YOU like really. It's your car and even though opinions may differ whatever you're happy with.

Personally I like seeing a car with some different wheels fitted..but sometimes in a similar style to some marque-specific aftermarkets (eg: EscCos style, Standard with polished spokes and painted centres) but also like those who go for something slightly different: eg Comp MO's as with FRO above

kevbnicpp

that first picture looks like the one Id go for, that looks sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

charlieboy

the clears where knackard both gone yellow one had a crack so binned them next question would it be worth going for cossie power?i can do all the fabrication work or is it best to leave an up comming classic alone?

rs shawn

Cheers. will keep looking.
ref cossie power: always worth doing that if you have the ability, time, funds and knowledge or something different in that way imo.
There's a couple out there but always worth another perspective on it.
