Thats what I thought as well

I'd go for 3 but I'm not sure how it will look with a black interior?

I voted 3 but Trevor makes a very good point about the airbag. You better check that out first Dave.

I expect you will have the issue of the airbag Dave... ?

But given a choice I'd go for keeping the original anyway....

I really like all three wheels but I'd stay original if it was me. It's not me tho! Airbags can be deleted, many are with modified cars. Wouldn't worry about that beyond the obvious safety issue!

The first thing I noticed when looking at the current wheel and the ones you propose fitting is the lack of an Airbag. If I was you, I would be keen to understand the implications of running without one, particularly for future MOTS and for your insurance premiums.

Hiya all Regarding the air bag issuer its not a problem at all.

I fitted a aftermarket wheel too my Rover 25.

When I had the MOT as long as the horn works and wheel is safe that's all that matters, as many classics never had air bags in motors same applies too modern motor even if there fitted as standard.

Probe air bags after reading on forums, don't tend too work, normally air bags need too replaced, Few owners that have had bumps stated that air bags in a lot of them don't deploy.

Air bag light, not worried at all, wire up too the battery light when ignition goes on it comes on, battery light goes off so does the air bag light.

It all depends on your MOT mechanic, My mate he's really good not picky at all as long as its safe nothing seriously major is wrong he'll help you out, been taking my cars too him for years.

I've done quite a bit of garage work and learned some really useful tips and tricks.

My mate knows me really well and knows how passionate I am about my cars, if I took my car with a air bag light after putting aftermarket wheel on.
He'll pass it.

He's not really picky on silly things like that, its common sense.
If its a after market wheel, don't expect too have a air bag with it.

Any other garage it would be a fail instantly simply because the light is on and part of the waning instrument panel.

Can't decide on the wheel too go, what ever has the highest votes that will be the wheel I'll go for.

Few more hours too go before the votes are counted.

Which will be crowned the winner.

They all great good what ever wheel wins I'll be one happy mother.
