Which wheels? (56k eek)

agw_01 · 2 May 2006 at 14:30

Just trying to decide which wheels would suit my car more. I don't want to go with your typical flat 5 spoke or multispoke wheels as you see them on every car... so here's what I've come up with so far.

These...

I do have pictures of these on a GSi and they look fantastic!

Or these...

Helppppppp me decide

17"

First wheels are... I can't remember, will find out.

Second wheels are BK 299's

1st set of wheels can be found here too...

buy the ones you like best.

But it's so hard to decide. Both sets look awesome on the GSi's!

Kingy, cheers for the reply mate

My Dad has BK299's on his 800 and from most angles they look awesome. Wouldn't go as far to say they look out of place on his car, but they definitely suit the 200 series better.

Oh, I've got discs all round. Puny little 262's on the front and 238's on the rear... not for long though

I love Kahn RS-R's... my first dreams of owning a car were of a Pug 106 GTi with 5 spoke Kahn's on. Sexy!

With regards for the Ti alloys, they're a different fitment to mine... shame really, because I'd have loved some 17" Vitesse wheels.

i quite like the current ones. Your car looks nice as it it is worth spending all that money on an old rover? Not like you got 4 spokes

Tbh Sone, I like the standard wheels. They look pretty smart when cleaned up and have a nice stealth factor about them. Only problem is, there's something in my head screaming for bigger wheels.

I've got no problems with spending money on an 'old' Rover. I've got a lot of plans for this car

agw_01 · 2 May 2006 at 15:27

I don't think they do RS-R's in 200/400 fitment.

Plus, like I said before... everyone has RS-R replicas

lol, wow, quite a debate here. Thanks for all the input

So, you guys are telling me that these wheels don't suit the car...

I think they look awesome myself. Suit the hatch much better than the Coupe I must say.

Fox, if I was going to get multispokes, I'd get MG Straights. SgtTupac has them on his and it looks fantastic. They aren't dear either... £200 for 4 brand new rims.

agw_01 · 2 May 2006 at 18:08

Hmm yeah I can see what you mean Mark, I guess they do look like blatent fakes

Sam, SuperLeg's are nice... but they're not for me.

agw_01 · 2 May 2006 at 18:21

Hope Andy doesn't mind me posting this, but a 220 GSi on MG Straights...

agw_01 · 2 May 2006 at 18:35

So MG Straights really are for the win eh?

Hmmm.

lol El, yeah, blue wheels on a blue car don't go too well. Still, it's one of a kind... that thing has a V6 under the bonnet :cool:

agw_01 · 2 May 2006 at 22:23

Cheers guys.

So it's 99% MG Straights, 1% (me

) Mille Miglia's.

Methinks I need to get some photoshopping done.

...

I was saying I prefer the Mille's!

Those later ZS wheels are lovely though.

Anyway all you h4terz!! Check these :cool:

Sorry for the crapness.

agw_01 · 2 May 2006 at 22:55

You sure it's not just my bad photoshopping?

agw_01 · 2 May 2006 at 23:00

Can't believe nobody likes the Mille's. I think they look superb.

Si, what (affordable) wheels... apart from SuperLeg's and T's do all of those things?

agw_01 · 2 May 2006 at 23:07

R124, thanks for the reply.

I would love a set of recessed multispokes like those in the picture. They look very smart and you don't see a lot of them... especially not on a Rover

Damn BMW's and their 5 stud pattern :mad:

Cheers for the warning, although never heard that myself. I'll look into it

The rear camber on my car is bad enough on standard wheels... on 17's it's going to be something like / \ !
