* NO car manufacturers wheels - an already awesome thread can be found chock full of those JUST HERE. * NO BBS RS/RM (or similar) - a great thread can be found with those in JUST HERE. * Wheels should be shown ON a car to give it context. Showing just a wheel not fitted to a car is a fail. * This is for the love and appreciation of all those wonderful and awe inspiring aftermarket wheels out there from all over the globe that simply *make* a car. There is vast range of styles from different manufacturers and different countries, this is the thread to celebrate those wheels. The classics, the era specific ones, the bold & the brave, the downright delicious....basically anything that counts as aftermarket wheel pr0n. I'll start the ball rolling with a few of my own (most now sold, but certainly not forgotten!) Schmidt Modernline: 16x9" in smoked chrome powdercoat    Nothelle Classic: 16x7" in bright silver   ....and on something completely different...    Enkei Baja: 14x6" in satin polish with moondust silver inserts    Hayashi Street: 14x6" in satin polish with satin black inserts    |

Oddly enough my old dear worked as an accountant for Cosmic wheels based in Walsall back in the late 70's/ early 80's  |

Nice thread idea - some of my own Image 3 piece split rims - 15x8 Black centers, polished rims (like a sharp edged minilite I guess)  Cosmic Mk3's - 13x5.5 black inlays, polished rim  TSW 5 spokes - 15x6.5 Do like a bight wheel   Torque Thrust D's - 15x7 Magnesium look paint  Mim 1900 - 15x7 red centers, not very polished rims! (need a good clean!)  |

Some not-quite-old school Japanese goodness? Volk Racing GT-P splitrims  My other choice couldn't be more ubiquitous... Compomotive MLs with gunmetal centres/polished lip. Hard to improve on something that's been so perfect for so long  |

Would be a fail anyway, because:  Ah I see! Well serves me right for not reading the criteria. Carry on as you were, I'll get my coat. |

Is this where we post "all the cool wheels you used to own" pictures? Chrome Chevy-fit "sawblades" 15" (don't know real name)  Gotti 15"s  RH 15"s (different E30)  TSW Omega 15"s  Team Dynamics 17"s   Azev 17"s  "not even sure what they were called but they had a lovely big lip on them" 17"s  sorry my pics aren't as good as the others posted. In other news, what does l33t mean? |
