New Compomotive 8x18'
Well I like em and have ordered a set in anthracite!

I loved those ACE wheels! cheapo jobbies but looked class. Renton put a set on a white RST/3i and they look the nuts. So good that my little sister bought the car off him actually

tough choice as both would suit the colours on the car..
I would stick with the anthracite but maybe some one could chop the wheels on to it for you and give you a better idea

I need to see a shot along the face, because you can't tell if the spokes stand proud of the rim, if they do, then they are a bit to "Venom-tastic" for me, if not they might be OK. Now if they do a 10" dished jobbie that might be cool!!!!

You can see from the Gold Pic Mike posted that the spokes curve back into the rim so I would say that they do protrude the rim slightly like a Venom
But, I personally think they look FUCK ALL like a TSW Venom!
PRICE!?

i was thinking of the BBS CH (Challenge) which these are a blatent rip off of, luckly I have chosen 'other' BBS wheels
I love the look of staggered setups. Here are some pics of some 10 inch rears:

These are 19x10 BBS CH. BBS dont make the 'deep/sunken' looking wheels in 18s or in 4x108 fitment. Interested to see if compomotive produce the 'deep/sunken' look for wider wheel widths.
Mike, they do look somewhat similar In fact I may get a set for my track day wheels!

I don't think anyone has a problem with Compo's. I agree they are PUKKA motorsport rims, I had several sets on my Esc Cos.
I just have a problem with TSW Venoms. I think the way the spokes on these compos seem to stick out from the rim (just like Venoms did) means they go from looking UBER COOL (like the BBS rims) to at best highly suspect.
Lets wait till we see some in the metal.

The point people are making are , that they feel the design they have just stolen from BBS thats all , and the fact the middle section of the rim sticks out like the old venom wheel did
I think Compomotive have always produced great wheel , I had a set of the old style 6 spoke MOs myself when they first introduced them and loved them on my 3 door , ok I didnt have much of a choice buying them because at the time they were the only wheel that provided enough clearance for 8 pot brembos
