Wheel help.
« on: February 24, 2008, 02:39:38 pm »
On the hunt for a set of 7x17inch wheels for my ST165.
Looking for something period and wanted to stay away from the Compomotive MO wheel.
So I went out and purchased a copy of MAX Power from 1993 to see what kind of rims were on offer back then.

 :-\ The biggest rim advertised in the magazine was a 16 and there were only two styles of wheel at that. However I did notice that the Compomotive CX range was out at that time, so on to compomotive I go, and this is what I have come up with......






What do you think? My car is black.

They all were available in the early 90's.
I really wanted a set of TH1's but they don't come in 7x17.
What do you think about the ML's, like a twin cam for big boys?

nah was watching a movis there the other night that had an old 67 fastback mustang with big rimmage and low profiles on, just didn't look right, superlite style rims are for 13" & 14", not any bigger

nah i'd be keeping it silver for a black car to be honest especially a 165, 185's can get away with it with the more modern looks but 165's should be keep simple looking
