Right my other thread turned into a list of wheels people think should be made and would sell in todays market, so might as well make a new thread for it! Not gonna say that any of these will be followed through at all, but will be a laugh never the less. Retro or modern, small or large (or small to be made large and visa versa) All ideas welcome. Try to steer away from stuff thats been done a million times. For those that don't know, I work for ZCW alloy wheels in Bromsgrove, so your idea might actually make it into production  |

I think a retro market you could tap into is making larger versions of classic OEM designs. That's how to keep a factory feel but improve the stance. Imagine 17" 205 GTI rims!  Rostyles  Ford 4 spoke thingies whatever they're called.  That's my 2p. Not that the price of my help should cost 2p though! |

Agree with Bolf on this one, small, wide JDM style. Sorted.

All following posts are irrelevant. We need 16" and 17" deep-dish slot-mags. Exhibit A: Burtle's photo-shop.  |

 But only 5.5 wide, so they can fit MGBs and Triumphs Big Sixes. |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Hello please, what are these called? They look tiny, i'm guessing limited sizes and mini based? That's a bit unknown... They'r from France. You'r right, they are 10" wheels for a (my) Mini. I could see the design in bigger sizes, though Up to 14-15"? |

Wide steel wheels would go down a storm!! And if you cant do steel do alloy replicas.

Just do banded OEM style steels in popular size PCDs.
Should be a very good seller if priced right!
