i know there's the fella with the blue cab with the chromed wheels on it, but now it seems to be a more and more popular mod, and ith companies now producing custom hub adapters for this purpose, how long before everyones got them bolted on?

Personally, I don't like them kind of wheels at all. Unless it's on some big Jag' or something.

It`s been happening in the Dub scene for a few years but it seems to be spreading now to other marques....

Escos with 20" Bentleys anyone ?

It's been in the Dub scene for a 10 years and the Jap scene for about 5 years. I guess the Ford scene is just catching up.

You can get almost any different combinations of pcd spacers from the states.

RX7 on M5 rims?

As said this is nothing new and i wouldnt say the next big thing as its pretty common already.

VW's pull it off i think, i had audi wheels on my VR6 they did bolt straight on with no adapters though.

Dub scene pulls it off well because they are suited to the car. Dub scene geenrally interchanges wheels from Audi, Porsche and some Merc rims. Gash rims are gash rims whichever way you cut it even if they are off a Bentley.

I quite like the Mk3 Golf above with the Audi wheels... Vdubs have been doing this with Porsche and Audi wheels with success because they're all under the same parent company... that's the idea. A Fiesta with Porsche or Bentley wheels is just silly because it doesn't follow the company theme.

Personally, some Volvo R wheels or Mazda MPS wheels might be interesting to see... stick to the Ford theme and you're bound to find a hit.

On topic though, some cars will carry off some other rims but imho it's a bit of a gamble and more often than not doesn't look right. It's almost like being different for the sakes of being different, then every cunt comes along and starts doing it and then it no longer is different
