Title: Which wheels?
Post by: Dougster7 on February 3, 2019, 16:35
Found a pretty cool free app with loads of wheels to try on your car

Hey Stu, thanks mate [emoji1303] There's some pretty whacky wheels on the app, interesting  to see some on the car that i'd never imagine.

Totally with StuC on that one. Rotas ok, others eye bleach on standby.
Handy app though.

I am rooting for a set of traffic signal red with polished rim ones  ;D

Fingers crossed I don´t have to stick with ´tasteful´ grey/silver or ´unobtrusive´ black. Unfortunately flashy gold seems to out of fashion too. That would be my second choice for nót taking my fun car too seriously.

1st and 2nd wheels get my vote.

The second are the much celebrated and even more often copied TE37 model as designed by Rays Engineering under their Volk Racing brand.

Can never go wrong with Rota Grids on a Jap car. They look awesome and usually easy to find, new or used.

Those are replicas of the TE37  ;)

In 15" they are about 1,5 kilos heavier than the equivalent Volks at less than half the price. As such per kilo saved they are only marginally cheaper.
So; same taste, same gain/cost, different budget.

The Rota Flight 8 is the replica of the Volk CE28.
