ZT wheels can suit the 75 well, we've put 18 inch 11 spokes on our 75 which really suits it I think. Just bare in mind changing up from 15inch standard classic wheels to 17 or 18 inch will make the ride slightly firmer. It's still very nice and wofty though. We didn't really notice any change as we changed up from 17inch serpents which use the same profile size tyre.

suzublu has the same wheels on his mki which really suit imo.

17inch starspoke wheels which were fitted to the mkii contemporary models really suit the mki 75 as well:

Have you also considered the 17inch meteor or serpent wheels which were the top of the range 75 wheels on the mki's and were also available on mkiis?

Meteors are easy to clean!

Freddie (bless him) had some lovely aftermarket wheels on his red 75. Thread No 3 on this page https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...hlight=Freddie

All really good choices thank you for your input

I've always thought meteors look good on a mk1, elegant with a touch of sporty. :D

I think that you should keep a Classic SE original. There aren't many of them on the road so it would be a shame to spoil its individuality. :}

I suppose it boils down to what you like, check out this thread.

I would also keep the original wheels as spares, sometimes it's nice to swap back for the comfort

I always thought the 16 inch Unions were the best compromise , they look good and comfort doesnt suffer, and easy to clean.
