alloy wheels

[littleredrocket]

i was just killing a bit of time on photoshop just seeing how different alloys look an the mk1....heres my results so far......






last pic my hand was little bit wobbly!
just a bit of fun.....

with the second pic, i think if there were more holes in the wheels theyd look awesome! what are they?

think the the 3rd pic looks best as in some of the others the wheels look too big.

Yeah i agree, ive never noticed before but some wheels do look too big on the mk1

[littleredrocket]

agreee the wheel sizing looks spot on in the 3rd pic IMO
2nd pic is alloys from this site www.wheelsrims.net/jeep-inventory.html

if someone wants to try other wheels by all means il see what i can do...got time to kill so would be interesting to see how they look

I had a play recently to see if konig rewind's would suit my car:



...alternative colour:



Didn't work for me, maybe needs lowering to complete the look?

Also, I don't know if they would be too deep and stick out beyond the arches in practice...I do like dished wheels though ...can't stand 'sticky-outy' wheels.

[littleredrocket]

if i had a personal choice on both those pics then i would say the first pic,as it just seems to suite the colour better,but agree yeh not sure if they suite the cars lines unless u had a bodykit or wider arches what about somthing with sharper edges like this


or even...

Love those BBS's I think most of my favourite cars on GT4 end up wearing a set of those

Personally, I think you'd be hard-pressed to beat a set of mk3 wheels on a mk1...once the corrosion has been sorted out

They get my vote. Retro cool

Pity they're for a Jeep though

5 spokes seem to suit the mk1 well (IMHO )

[littleredrocket]

from the looks of it most people opinions the 5 spokes and they do seem to suite the car well...got 2 more...think i found my favourite the first pic here

[reanimation]

Great exercise, I like the second one and last two lots (last one like jinxys)

Heres one i did on Corel, and didn't like...

[littleredrocket]

found it easier to get a side on shot of a car ,and then its easier to paste the wheels in from another photo just might have to play around with the image sizing that that your copying the wheels from.

also just had a look at what round lights would look like on the back....
the only good photo i could find a good rear shot of an mr2


sorry this probly should be another thread

I've a set of these in 16" flavour. I need to refurbish them so need to decide on a colour and find some tyres in what is an uncommon size .

[littleredrocket]

really like those rims they look very similar to the 3rd picture down i posted at the top of this page

[littleredrocket]

as your car is white,what about powder coating them white with a chrome ring around the outside,might work

[littleredrocket]

heres a quick pic

Yep i love those BBS wheels, my replacements are nearly finished, i wont reveal them until they are on the car & finished though, but i will say that at the moment they look superb & im sure BBS fans on MK1's wont be disapointed , Jinxy

Totally agree Ian - I'd like a set of these in 16" form, but as said tyre choice is limited and fairly pricey - would look great in black with a polished rim
