I like the first photo - but if I had three to choose from, Frans' option would get top vote.

I'm with the Dutch guy.

Well in a purely platonic, hetero kind of way.

I was just impressed with his ideas on rimming...oh I'll get my coat!

I prefer the first. I don't think the second complement the muscular nature of the vehicle.

Hi Jocke,

ABSOLUTELY no contest IMO

The top ones.

I have a 1989 VW Scirroco (my Mum's from new) and found an original set of Montreal Alloys last year,they completely transformed the car

Nothing but the original options will do.



Regards Mike.

Nice car Jocke.

I actually prefer the second set but the top AMG one's probably suit the car more.

Frans' choice is the exact ones fitted to my previous C Class.

Jocke , I would stay with the hammer wheels , especially since you have the wider rears, makes a great look, I don't think the later wheels will be exactly the correct offset either .

Jocke
The first series, even though more common, accentuates the design of the body, while the second diminishes it by penetrating the facade.

The first series appear more muscular, whereas the second is trying for a light elegance that does little for the overall look.

The first series accentuates the horizontal, and thus enhances the horizontal themes, while the second series stops the horizontality by drawing attention to the radial design and the wheel centers.

It is nice that the brakes are more visible in the second series, but that doesn't make up for the debits.
