Wheel rim choice.
Hi everyone

After giving Millie a thorough wash and shine over the weekend, i noticed that the modular rims are starting to rust more than ever and the powder coating is coming off as well Rolling Eyes So i would like to get these sorted so they are as good as new and i'm using this as a positive, as to get some other rims to go on while this are being sorted Wink

My favourite would be a set of Bowlers, but in my eyes they would look to fancy for her Sad

A more practical thought is to replace them with some more modulars as Millie looks good with them on imo, so i thought what would be your thoughts on what wheel rim she would look good with ?

You can't go wrong with a set of Wolf's. Not in black though as you loose the detail. Silver or anthracite would look great. Darren

The daft thing is, its cheaper to buy a new set of modulars than get the old set refurbed, especially if you factor in selling the old ones off as is....

The ones Blackwolf has on his 110 look good I think on 110’s and 130’s. Thumbs Up Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

I did think of Wolf's Darren, but as you said that they would loose the detail if black, food for thought with the two other colour choices Thumbs Up 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

Thank you, I think that Blindos look good on almost anything. The only trouble is that you can buy four modulars for the price of one Blindo. Shocked

I don't think you can go far wrong with ET0 Wolf style or Modular.

Depends how much money we can get you to spend! Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

ANR Classics maybe Whistle As much as I love Bowlers I'm not sure they would suit your awesome 110. Blindos yes! Laughing

As blackwolf has mentioned the only hold back on a set of Blindo's is the price Sad

But with the last pic on your reply James with the blue Hicap, those black Blindo's would look good on Millie Very Happy

It looks as James could be right with this costing me a lot Rolling Eyes 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.
