Do you use Facebook?

Sorry mate I don't, I have a deep mistrust of social media since my home was cleared when I was away on business not so long ago,
Why do you ask buddy?

 

[John Thompson]

I want to buy a carly too, looking for a used one so I know it works properly!

Yeah it' an awful thin at times, but also very useful.
There is a bmw wheels selling page, loads of 'wheeling' and dealing going on.

I can save you lots of time and effort.

Don't, they will look terrible on a modern car

Oh I dont agree, I think they will look stunning on a roadste as long as said roadster is of proper proportions and are well looked after

Are these from dayton wheels? I've been in touch with them today but computer says no!!!

Each to their own but i absolutely fundamentally disagree

As is your right but I think "fundamentally" is a bit strong, its like saying I think black cars are absolutely fundamentally wrong, but as you say "to each his own"

There is a member on here, Peter Johnston, can't remember his forum tag as he has not been on here for ages and he lives and works in Hong Kong but I seem to remember he got his wire wheels shipped from Germany.
We are friends on FB though, so I can ask him if you like?

Yeah you will have to as it' a closed group. I can have a look for you though

If I see a nicely adorned car I will always compliment but if I have negative feelings about a cat I just keep my opinion to myself.

Yep, me too but have you seen @Grumps car? ....

Thanks but they came from a company called Dayton wheels from unsurprisingly Dayton Ohio, but they have stopped making them( I can hear all the "I told you so's) but as I said, thanks anyway.

I'm a big admirer of wire wheels and I raised this topic when I first joined the forum. They weren't available new even then although they were still being advertised.

 

[Davyhoogy]

Don' worry about it. People agree/disagree. If you want to paint your car in nail varnish you go right ahead lol, do what you enjoy not what others do

 

[5harp3y]

Great thanks, though I seem to have opened a can of worms here, even rating my post with a big red X, its just my opinion that my car would look good with a nice set of wide wire wheels. Surely people can have their own opinion without putting big red X, makes me look like a trouble maker. If I see a nicely adorned car I will always compliment but if I have negative feelings about a cat I just keep my opinion to myself.

Just means disagree, which I do.

But it is your car and I would love to be proven wrong if you go ahead with them

T***!

Peters car looks great on wires in my opinion, got to get the right type though, need knock off centers definitely. @John Thompson if you want wires mate you get some
