...I guess you were expecting a GTE with a Rover V8? Instead have a very pretty Scimitar GT with Ford 302ci    |

Whilst that is epic in so many ways and I'm pleased to see someone has gone the "extra" mile, it'd be so much nicer if it lost some ride height, and gained some more tasteful wheels. Just my 2p. Still epic though.  |

Those wheels are a bit arent they, at least go for something like jellybeans/slots actually these are canny...  |

I confess, I find the wheels a bit Marmite too, but Scimitars always seem to end up with slots, Superlites or Revolutions. I like that somebody has tried something else.

It's a beauty and it does NOT need to be lowered even 1mm. |

Very nice. I'm not sure if it needs lowering, but I'm not sure on the wheels either personaly, I think id like to see it on torque thrusts in the same size.

when your driving 302 powered GT coupe you would not give a stuff for stance or period wheels, overstating fools missing out on understated cool

I'm sure the owner will take all of your concerns on board about the wheels and act accordingly.

The wheels make it look like a British version of Vocks' P1800  Bet it shifts too,.. top marks. |

I love it all. I think the wheels bring it bang up to date. It's nice to go retro with slot mags, Minilites, etc, but sometimes you have to take the plunge and go for something different. This is how I would expect the Scimitar to look if it was still in production today. It also looks like the choice of wheels was to look like the ones fitted to the Middlebridge Scimitars.  |

Love the car, not the wheels. Look a bit too much like "First ones I see in Halfords I'll buy" tbh. On a similar design, but better executed I think these would work better :  or  |

Love that Scimitar! Just how they should be done. Yes the wheels may not be to everyone's tastes but the car as a whole works so well! That must be a right barrel of laughs to drive . |
