WANTED: photos of your wheels!

[Capri&Corona]

Hi, i have a project almost ready for its MOT but after welding done and a fresh coat of paint i wont be leaving the standard 4 spokes on (13x6 i think :s )

therefore i would like to see what people have put on their mk3 capris so i can look for a preference, any size, any colour it doesnt matter i just need to use my imagination on this one with all of your help!

Thanks, George

Must admit, I do like each model to have the original wheels on. Always looks out of place and obvious when wheels are switched over to me. But each to their own Would be interested to see what you do decide on.

My favorites are like Les' in this link viewtopic.php?f=16&t=49663&start=20
Nick has the same ones?
Pepperpots are also great on the Capri, and lastly Minilites are ok but not a huge fan depending on the colour /style of the car they are fitted too.

I agree with Paul and Andy, keep it standard..... However I have been tempted by these http://www.johnbrownwheels.com/Shop/P-8 ... hined.html

I think this car has them fitted

I like the deep dish 4 spokes too.

Pretty sure that car you posted Neil has had them custom made to be wider at the rear. I spent hours looking at wheels before deciding on mine...



I went 15x8 ET0 in the end and not had any issues with catching so far, with a 1" drop on 145lb spring at the front, standard saggy single leafs at the back.
But I can totally appreciate keeping it completely standard too.

Matt, Your wheels look great against that lovely red paintwork Just hang on to them Pepperpots, as they'll be worth a fortune one day.

The pepperpots aren't going anywhere
They'd actually started to grow on me a little by the time I got round to fitting the Revolutions. I love the standard look, however I really wanted something a bit larger and meaner.

No doubt I'll change my mind again in the future.

For me it was between these black centred 5 spokes (or something similar) or the polished deep 4 spokes.

Yep, as Andy has correctly said ( ) I have these 7x13 Polished 4 spokes from JBW (John Brown Wheels) and love em !

They may not be stock standard but I really like them...but of course wheels are a personal taste. Some like standard some like others....for me its the 4 spokes

This is what four spoke revolites look like on my car.

[-JC-]

The best ones are clearly:

Revolution 5 spokes:



or:

Compomotive MS1380 / MS1370 5 spokes:



edit: ^^ for sale btw! ^^)

I recognize that Capri. Hello mate.

[Capri&Corona]

The best ive seen so far for the glacier blue colour is rather deep dish rs 4 spokes or deepdish 4 spoke revolutions in gloss black, however im gutted they dont do them in 14x7

[Pas28i]

I have the standard 7x13 7spoke special wheels and have a set of 280 wheels that I will eventually put on, but I really like the 7x15 4spoke jbw wheels.

I think they should make 7x15 pepper pots though!

[Not_Anumber]

+1 for 15" Pepperpots

[Andrew 2.8i]

I think they should make 7x15 pepper pots though!

Wouldn't that be great? Although I'd be perfectly happy if I could get 6x15 pepperpots.

Didn't realise there were people that actually liked pepperpots!

Didn't realise there were people that actually liked pepperpots!

It just so happens that the three people in the world that like them are on this forum.....

I think pepperpots suit the look of the 2.8 perfectly.

I like pepperpots too, but seeing how hard it is to get the 205/60 tyres for them these days, and how ridiculously expensive good name brand ones are even if you can find them I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.
