Yup gotta be stealths.
Had 15s too.

The bigger they are the better they look though cos it makes the spokes look thinner.

Think the 15s look a bit dated now but larger ones still look good.

Could it be just nostalgic to us and actually they look crap to anyone else? lol

Got to admit I do love the Volk TE37's they look really nice on a skyline.

But on a Scooby the OZ superleggras or prodrive WRC-1 alloys.

Hockerneim (or whatever they are called were very nice)

I know this might be CHAV of me but I liked the good old 100+ 3 spoke, specially in 18" (might have been 17") but they looked big, seen some on a Cossy not so long ago, looked smart!!!!

Definately agree there, The Evo-r were very nice, forgot about them, and the MOMO arrows were very nice, they looked best on the mk2 gti...never was a big BBS fan but must admit they did look ok on the right car!!!!

Without a doubt the best quality alloy wheel ever made was the forged Fuchs; available as an option on a number or Porsches and as original equipment on a few.... Better than any BBS wheel Ive seen, in every respect... (only availble in a 130PCD 5-stud fitment though!).

Think momo arrows have aged better than most of the others ,but agree looked mint on quite a few cars and still do sometimes.
