Steels vs. alloys

...toying with the idea of trading up from steels (top) to 6x14 OEM alloys (bottom). Executive win or waste of time

Full of win. Just the right wheels for an E12. It's looking well btw.

Steelz FTW with chrome beauty rings and nice centre caps.

I agree with Andyboy, everyone now has alloys but not a nice finished off set of steels.

..yep, came to the same conclusion here too. Just passed up on a set of those alloys which ended at the weekend. Quite fancy the deeper steels from the 525, but as they're wrong, they won't be going on

Latest peado activity is attempting to get a new bottom trim on the front windscreen.... The fitterzzz at Autoglass gave it a good bash, (2 1/2 hours), but the result is less than perfect... Even E12 god Tony Chamberlaine said it's not an easy job... Any heroes on here fancy a bash

That's a lovely car mate.

Those sharp-spoked alloys are a nightmare to keep clean, and look sh*te when they're not. I'd keep the steelies.

Besides, they're in keeping with the 'austerity measures' times we live in!
