I really think the second set look marvelous  ;)

But, being a practical sort` I wonder about suspension travel and wheel-arch clearances etc.  :-/

Presumably it's just the photo which makes the 2nd set look bigger. I think the extra spoke in the first set is classier.

I think they both look OK. I would go for the ones where the spokes dont stick out further than the rims ::)

Personal preference is the second set as they're closer to the late MV6 wheels that I want on mine!

Anybody know if you can get replica Omega wheels anywhere, or for that matter if Vx still sell late MV6 wheels (if they have any stock left)?

The second set really need a good low-sitting body kit to set them off. (I.e. get some Irmscher bumpers and skirts first!)

As it is, the first set look better.

Edit: It could be just a dodgy photoshop job on the picture though, the only reason I say the second set need a body kit is cos they so damn huge compared to the others.
