For some reason I love the look of your car too, no idea why...

Love the Straights on mine but also have a set of 11 spokes that will get ftted one day (been saying that for well over a year now lol)

I think keep a standard looking alloy, and spend the money getting them refurbished,or the colour changed, or even spend the money else where on the car. Not to many aftermarket alloys look that good on a ZS.

Think after consideration u guys are knowing about it more than me and i might just buy some nice simple looking alloys rather than the posy kind :)
like u say the car would only look good with certain alloys. going to have a rethink and then pick them again :)
daytona once we got the alloys and lowered it then we will love to come to one of the meets to meet some of u guys :)
do u have them in kent ?????

I've always thought the mk1 spokes suit the mk1 far better than the mk2s...always wanted some pro race 1.2's in gun metal grey when I had mine :)

Best type and colour :whistle:

Cant reiterate this enough!!!!!! ;)

As for the wheels, a simple colour change can make the car look so different!!!!

I considered having mine white at one stage, with some stripes on the sill a little like the old 1275GT mini had. They really do look great mate!

The main thing about the 11 spokes for me is the slightly bigger offset - gives the car a bit more of a sporting stance

I love the centre caps I made up for my Straights though, a reason that the 11 spokes haven't gone on yet I think.
