Mercedes SLR wheels? Like or Dislike?

Post by Mk4Mexican »

hey all, yesterday i saw a new astra sport on some mad dished turbine wheels just like the ones on the maclaren mercedes slr, just wondering if anyone knows what i'm on bout and do you like them? i've had them photoshoped onto my polo.

On an SLR yes, on a Polo.... hmm :?

They need to be bigger to look good I think, but big wheels and Polo's don't mix :lol:

Fact - the shape of the spokes is designed to help brake cooling! :o
