Some great ones already posted. Those 2 ordinal TT wheels are great. The 6 spokes would always get the worst case of curb rash though because they stuck out! Super cool, but bad ID. OG sketch at my dealership.
I got the more complicated 5 spokes on the S5 and I curse them every time I wash the car… way too complicated, lesson learned. 2 of my co-worked have the “rotor” style Audi wheels on their S5 and A4… totally envious. Easy to clean and the graphite finish always looks clean because it is basically the color of brake dust. Genius.
The Torq-thrust’s we’re going to be my suggestion…but for diversity sake I also love the M parallels. There’s very few BMW’s that they don’t look good on, even dating back to the old E30’s.
Ooch. Ok, yeah they are similar. Like I said, I’m no expert You have a Ghia? I’ve got a Sunshine Yellow '74 Convertible. Might get it back on the road this summer, we’ll see.
Past tense; had a '68 for eighteen years; I still see it driving around town occassionally. The guy that bought it totally restored it, but it’s starting to look a little rough around the edges again. I’m thinking stalk and pounce, but I’ll bet he wants a whole lot more than he paid me for it.
A candidate for a Subaru conversion me thinks… . .
There are a lot of great wheels posted, I would like to share a few of my favorites that I think need to be mentioned. The right wheel can make a car and the wrong wheel can totally ruin a car.
Since someone already posted Minilites and the OG BBS wheels, I’ll go with Lotus wobbly webs. Constant wall thickness for easy casting in the 60s, but with integral stiffening by deforming the material out of its plane. Often paired with inboard discs at the time, so the lack of brake cooling was not an issue.
