personally, I think fitting any after-market wheels should be punishable by instant death

Especially true of blingy chromed ones.

What's wrong with fittng a nice set of alloys to a standard spec car? I'm not into super low profiles but my green CD had the same wheels the Beastie runs now.Most 60's 70's 80's classics look better with a set of slotmag wolfies fitted, even a Micra looks better with a set of cheapies than the standard John Peels & placcy hub caps, lighten up you two.
      I thought i was a grumpy old so & so. Punishable by death, my arse! ;D

There's a place for things with a mirror finish. On the bathroom wall. ;D

it always looks cheap and chavvy to me. In fact, that goes for any modification to the "look" of a car.

wheels are there for one purpose - and that's to hold the tyres up.

I have sympathy for situations where you need a larger wheel in order to clear a brake pack you've got.

still, this is all my opinion, don't forget - what suits me doesn't necessarily suit others
