Hell yes Venoms! Haha. I would just for the sake of it.

Max Power

Holy crap. NO. I had a set of these on my 205gti that was featured in Maxpower in 1998. Im not even sure they were a good choice back then let alone now! Lol!!!

    Do it, its different. Which is what modding is all about isnt it?

    Let me be honest they are total gash when they were released and still look gash leave them in the 90's where they belong

    You could argue that it's been so long since they were seen on cars that no-one under thirty will recognise them.  Mind you, the same could be said for three spokes...and they looked **** as well!

    TSW phoenix were the three spokes. Id have frickin LOVED a set of them on my 1st car....Nova obv:-)))

    Iv got a set of TSW multispoke jobbies in the shed17" that i think will prob end up scrapping.

    real retro..

    Oh my, you didn't... :giggle:

    I must confess that when I passed my test back in '94 (before I knew better) I wanted a set of three spokes on my Mercury Grey Escort 1.3 Bonus RS lookalike with full XR interior (but the game was given away by the basic Bonus specification level, with a clock where the rev counter should be and a blanking plate where the fag lighter should be), along with green painted calipers and rear drums along with green bumper striping and a green "turbo" sticker along the side.  Subtle.

     

    I got the green calipers in the end on the vRS, well, green and rust colour...

    Those Teddy Bear wheels cost a fortune back in the day (believe it or not) - about £400 each iirc.

     

    Before you ask, no, I didn't and nor was I tempted, I just remember them from an issue of Revs magazine back in the day!

     

    I did, however, put some cheap and nasty Cosmic alloys on an Escort once that held air like a burst balloon and corroded faster than an Eighties Ford parked in the sea.

    I always wanted these back in the day best I could afford was oz saturns 14" on my mk:3 fiesta rs turbo lookalike (5dr so not very lookalike).

    The past is firmly in the past :rofl:
