Memories; remember when these were the b****x and must haves till everyone got em.

If you look closely at the black spokes on my rims; striking resemblance!I'v never changed my rims, had these on for 2yrs now, winter didn't leave any damage. My sisters parking however did

still reckon venoms look alright lol

TSW Venoms and Stealths were the wheels that kept my Dad's tyre and wheel shop afloat during the 90's!

Everyone loved the Venoms. Even I did, when I came over to his shop (I was about 10 at the time) and I loved the design of the wheel. I wanted to get a Mk6 Escort with a set of 18" Venoms and a Cosworth spoiler (I dreamt of the rally Escort with the blue/yellow livery). I soon learnt the error of my ways when I got the Polo though.

Or even run a set of cheap 3-spokes for the fun of it

Mate you turn 21 then tell us how old you were back then just made calculate and realise that was donkeys years ago and I was much older than you back then.

Cheap 3 spokes: Also loved when they 1st came out. Funny how time changes asthetics cos they make me cringe now

Glad someone agrees!! if you keep em clean (like you'd always do?) then their going to be fine! I'd rather save the money for something else.........

yup my RM's arent budging for winter, a good wash & polish every few days will keep the dishes mint

disagree.....£1200 worth of show wheels + salt and grit does not add up. for the sake of £130 it makes perfect sense so you dont have to be out there in the dark and rain in januray cleaning your bloody wheels!!

if i'd spent that much on my wheels then possibly, but i've got the standard bbs 15"s, they've been refurbished and i take good care of them (cleaned every couple of days) so i dont have any reason to buy any winter wheels, i can see your point tho

ye i would run RX's over the winter as they arent too fiddly to clean and also james RM's arent too much hassle to get in around the bolts but mine are a nightmare!!

yeah i'll agree with that, yours are a b***h to clean!
