My vote would be for no, bear in mind I'm an ageing traditionalist though

I like the idea of 3 spokes, I think they are really 80's retro and suit the car. But yours are a bit big for my taste, need some 15's IMO. At least its an individual look tho :thumleft:

IMO 3 spokes are just awful, they look absolutely terrible. Anyone who thinks 3 spokes are de rigeur is wrong. Period.

Also apart from looking hideous they look way too big.

glol, tell it like it is :) - Have to agree, I used to like 3 spokes, but that was in 1993. I think i've moved on now, but hey, if it works for you more power to you :thumleft:

I personally think they look too big as well, and am also not sure on the 3 spoke design... I tend to think that 5 or 7 spoke designs work really well on the Mk1.

But it's your car - if you like it, keep it! That's what's most important!

They were THE wheels for Chavalier GSi's in the early 90's..... :D

For a '2, tho.....?

Our survey says.......UH-UH!! :D

Mind you...If (like me) you like to be a bit different..... :twisted:

Not on the fence with that answer then Lauren!

I have to agree with you though, in my opinion they look dire.

I don't like them, maybe on some cars they would look good but not on a Mk1!
