3dr wheel options
Thinking of changing the wheels on my 3dr, as much as I like them I want to start to make my own and not so instantly recognisable as Davies old car.
So was wondering if people wouldn't mind giving me some ideas by posting up some pics of theirs please?
How it looks now...
Cheers, Karl

Anthracite TH2s for me as Hardly any with them on and against Black would look very menacing, or RL7s

What about having the Comps painted Karl, be cheaper and easier
Pete's choice is good but they might drive you nuts trying to keep them clean

They just look proper on 3drs Sin, they'd clean easy enough, Splits are a lot worse to clean than these

Agree Pete, if the TH2's I had on the sapph were the right offset for a 3dr they'd be on it now lol. There was a set for sale on here a few weeks back, 17", anthracite, 3Dr offset and I didn't see them until they'd sold! Bastard lol.
Not so keen on 18"s myself, they look nice but I've been told they don't drive so nice and they'll make my brakes look small lol.

I much prefer the MO's to the Speedlines can't wait to put them back on once i've bought a replacement 888 for the one I scraped at Curbourgh.
I love the headlamp protectors they are like hens teeth thou.
