TSW Venoms - Hot or Not?
 
As anyone into cars, who is over the age of 25 will know, Venoms were the in craze wheels to have.

No that time has passed, what are peoples thoughts on them now?

Yes, I do have a set fitted.

:lol1: I prefer the other ones :D

Needs camber and lowering to cover the face of the wheels ;)

in my opinion they look awful,i remember when these came out and everybody had them on their cars from a mk4 xr3i to a nova gte-everybody spunked about them and i could never see why.

less is more in my opinion regarding wheels-back in the day my favorite wheel was the oz polaris or the tsw stealth/alpine

15-years ago I'd have had them, and 20-years ago I'd have had some 3-spokes too, but I've grown up since then and developed some common sense and (a limited) sense of taste:D

the shreksta 24 November 2013 08:18 PM

Jacko4130 24 November 2013 08:21 PM

Look Foul.

DarkDimension 24 November 2013 08:21 PM

Been a long time since i have seen a set of those. Brings be back to the days of the nova's. They don't suit the car tho so I had to vote weigh them in.. Best thing for them.

Moley 24 November 2013 08:22 PM

They don't look as bad as I remember them being back in the day.

The first ever car mod I ever did back in 1998. Had a set of them on my 3 door Peugeot 309 and girls footprints on the inside of the rear window to match ��

I used to love KN Ditec years back. TSW Blade were pretty big back in the day.

jonnyricer2 24 November 2013 09:11 PM

Aaron1978 24 November 2013 09:25 PM

It's only just dawned on me that they're similar to the Prodrive Gt2 wheels!

Similar to Focus ST alloys aswell

Fudgey 24 November 2013 09:28 PM

Back in 1998 i liked them, but bought tsw hockenheim r's lol

The mk2 focus st kind of modernised them lol

These days tho, no i wouldnt buy a set as there are many better wheels out there to buy

dukeoffenland 24 November 2013 09:35 PM

I saved so hard when I was 17 for my mk2 Astra but ended up going on holiday instead

the shreksta 24 November 2013 09:38 PM

Do tsw still make wheels?

Gear Head 24 November 2013 09:50 PM

My eyes! :razz:

Didn't like them when I was 15 and I don't like them at 31.
