Spotted this 75 at the fort in Birmingham, what's people opinion on the wheels ? Quite like them myself nice and subtle.

Easy to clean design. I have the 7-spoke Connoisseur wheels which I suspect are the easiest of the originals to keep clean. Fancy alloys look good as long as they're spotless. Problem is keeping 'em that way.

Not for me - Anything but OEM alloys just don't look right in my eyes. They might look better on a ZT................

Same here I suppose, don't think I would buy aftermarket if I was looking to change again, although around here is a 75 with what I am sure are bmw m3/m5 alloys and that looks pretty cool, driven like a maniac though.

You know the more I look at the picture, have gone from sorta liking them to not so sure..........Were better in real life, smoked chrome really suited the chrome on the car.

Yuck, don't like them. They make the car look ugly. It looks like it wants to go off roading. Yuck.

That's a hotlink from Photobucket and the page is no longer available. ie the picture has been removed.
If you can still see it you are much smarter than the average bear :)

When you browse pages on the web your web browser saves the last so many and all associated pictures in a cache (storage area) so that if you go back to that a page recently visited the computer calls the information from you cache rather than from the web site on the internet. The cache is constantly upadated and is only of a given size therefore as new stuff goes in the old stuff goes out.

There you are and not a word of tech speak :)

[JP53]

I can't see them but as a general rule of thumb I tend to like MGR originals.

[Zeb]

Guys you are not missing much. Ugly as a very ugly thing. No style, no class and they look hideous. (Apart from that they are ok..)

They can't be that bad, you drive a 75, are on this site and in the best car club in the world. :D

[lildevil]

I had a look at this earlier when the pic was still there, and thought how horrible they look. I have to agree with most of the people on here that the only Alloys that look really good are the OEM ones.

Well, it was the one purchase I have made which was spot on I'll admit that much.

[The_Monk]

[The_Monk]
