I like a bunch of differrent wheels but both our cars are stuck with Porsche pattern ones as the quality of something like Fuchs can't be beaten. I think I have evidence that Gas Burners can take a hammering too.  |

don't forget about 8 spokes !!!
i really like the look of the deano's or centerlines but with 4 bolts it doesn't look as good. the rims is a bit too filled.

From the list, it's gotta be American Racing in either wide 5 or porsche fitment. but you've also missed off 2 litre alloys  |

I guess that there could have been 50 different ones listed if 4 bolt wheels were listed as well! A few people are saying Torque Thrusts, but they are probably rarer and nearly as much coin as genuine BRMs! Are there any wide 5 sets in Europe?
Si.

All I Can Say Is I Love My Set Of Americans I have them on my Chevy II and a Set of wide 5's for my Cal Look And you are right Simon Wide 5 American's are about ten times more Rare Then Original BRM'S They made a lot less of the American's then the Did BRM's |

I was waiting for you to chime in about that !  Gas Burners first - Cosmics a very close second. |

American racing from the list are my personal favourite.
I've got a set of Heckmessers/Cookie Cutters. Don't know if they were used back in the day, but I think that they are ok for a late looker project.

pff....i did this thought just these days.....all the wheels are available as replica.......everyone has every wheels.....maybe we should begin to accept idea that combination of parts is not endless and that when u customize a car built in 23 million of copies.....well.....everthing you do someone did before u.....  |

There's nothing like a good set of 205/5 Chromies with no caps. Looks aggressive. |

I always liked BRMs, but even if I if i could afford a set of original ones, I wouldn't buy them, because they are to rare, fragile and expansive to use them on the street, every day, without stress. I know that you can do it, but IMO they're for show or museum, not for a car intended to be used frequently. Not anymore. So I wanted to buy replicas. They look the same (I know that there are differences, but 75% of people don't see them, and further 20 % don't give a shit), they aren't expensive and you don't cry after hitting the kerb and destroying one. But now i read here that BRM replicas are uncool. What will I do? What will I do? And my favorite wheel? Torque thrusts |

Do what you want to do. There is a valid argument against replicas in some respects but all the points you make are also valid. Shades of gray, it's not black and white. Flat4 are the way to go on the BRM front and as a company they've been around since '76 so that gives them some kudos. The rims I run are common and unimaginative, maybe even 'lazy', I'm fine with that! Hell, half my life's a siesta! |
