For better or for worse?

Thank you Shaun5 for the wagon wheels which now adorn the Cabbie. Picture is half way through the transformation and to my mind at least, the original wagon wheel looks infinitely better than the 17" after market front alloy.

I do like "original, or is that just a sign of my age?

The wagon wheels look good Frank

original better

Isimmo · 14-10-15, 08:39 PM

Original gets my vote...

PS...
What's with the orange ball on the arial?

No contest.
I don't like the front at all - looks like a load of balance weights adorning it.

It's a no brainer and bad taste to ruin such an elegant shape with after market nonsense!

Andy10v · 14-10-15, 09:07 PM

Much better.

Those after market wheels would look horrible on anything, I am always amazed at some after market wheels that make production!

My poor eyes!, that poor car!, whatever were you thinking Flying Frank?

Stick with the originals Frank, they look so much better; more in keeping and proportional to the car spec.

Glad its not just me, so as per the plan , the originals ( supplied by Shaun5 ) are on the car now and will stay.....from above posts , I don't see much point in advertising those ghastly aftermarket wheels on CA Forum.

Great set of tyres, but the alloys are "tacky" I reckon. Makes the original 15" wagon wheels look a tad small which is why i guess so many go for a nice set of 16" Boleros....but will stick with the original...thanks again Shaun !!!
