Hated them with a passion.
The Imolas were much nicer looking. Or even Momo Arrows

Retro hot! On the right car they look great. It's just a shame they became so popular across all makes of car and we literally drove the wheels off that one.

No that time has passed, what are peoples thoughts on them now?
Yes, I do have a set fitted.
Is this a Northern taste thing Micky...more evidence of the North/South divide?!

Ahhhhh TSW Venoms, I remember those from when I was at school. Nova, Astra, Cavalier are the only 3 cars that spring to mind.

PMSL, Ian.
They only owe me £100, when I sell the tyres that were on them they'll owe me nothing. I needed another set of winter wheels, as I kind of broke one from my old set. Well, it's more square than broke.

I was a Northern(ish) lad before moving to Wales and no its most definitely not a Northern taste thing. What we do do well is finish projects in good time
Micky, no, just no!!! They'd have gone straight in the bin if I'd have got my hands on them, sorry
Least you can curb them to death when it snows and not worry about them though
Iirc, they were wildly in fashion for about 6 months and then they were the worst ever wheel from thereafter!!!
