Wheel Choice Dilema!!?!
After seeing Rick on Saturday and his diagnosis of needing 4 new wheels Ive been looking into what wheels I should get.
Always liked the Speedline 6 spoke but hard to get hold of, do I do the leg work and find some or do I go for a copy from Revolution.
So its a set of Speedlines and then pay for a good refurb!!! Total £400-£600???
Or New set of Revolution Millenium(Similar to Speedline) wonderfully photoshop'd on to my car £500
Im looking for a strong wheel without the cost
maybe its worth that effort and paying that bit extra for some heritage???!!!
Opinions welcome.

Cheers guys, all giving me the answer that I probably knew was the right one. Im thinking of offering a Cash insentive to anyone who can find me a good set anywhere. Anyone one up for the challenge?
Am I right in saying that these wheels although similiar are not the same as the on the WRC Scoob?! Are these ST2s? Whats the difference?
Big can of worms just opening I fear!!
I did see a thread saying the WRC wheels wont fit a standard classic anyway!! Any advice.

The rears were badly buckled with flat spots, and the front passenger was buckled and twisted.
The rears caused vibrations through the cars at certain speeds. Didnt know how bad they were till it was up on the ramp!!

Right its narrowed down to
Speedline ST2s or some crazy coloured Rays (would prob powder coat gold at later date) Hopefully the Rays would go over my 6pots!?!
Need to make the decision this weekend so I need your opinions super fast.
Pleeeeeaaaaassssseeeeee. Both quality of wheels and looks.

Given your car's performance choose the widest to get a wider tyre on ?
ST2 is right to me, but Rays aren't shabby either...
Sorry not helping.

P.S. Just been on Speedlinecorse site (poor !), and 18" magesium is the only one shown, and Revolution are the nearest dealers listed ! HTH

Woe thanks for the offer Dunx. But I think the ST2s are a safer option so think I may have made my decision.
Keep some traditional Speedlines going for a bit longer.
Cheers again.

Some people haev ST2's go over brembo's, some say no. So I just think replicas might go over them as replica's always have some differences to the originals.

The replicas would be better if they didn't have "REVOLUTION" embossed into the spoke.
This is how you can tell they are Mgnesium versions
They have the Mg on the wheel code behind the spokes.

Thanks!
