Fat Wheels

[arranj]

Well, we know Welmoed is looking into this anyway, but now it seems DMCH have made a prototype set of big wheels

They had them at the show at the weekend. They look pretty good. A bit easier to clean to.

Alloys are subject to taste.

I personally like the fact the rear wheel is bigger than the front wheel so reflect that on replacement wheels !

2 sets of alloys of the same design but different sizes could be bought
2 of these wheels from the smaller set swapped with 2 from the larger set would create 2 complete sets for the D keeping the back wheel looking bigger !!!!!

My opinion on that pic is that the front wheels look a bit too big.
Nice to see them experimenting though.

They could try using the oem rear alloy with a low profile tyre on it, for the front wheel (if it fits!), then custom make a rear wheel with the same design but larger. It would give the same look and feel of the original car but with the advantage of lower profile tyres.

Just my thoughts............

Personally I think they look a bit "cheap". I know Welmoed's was a photoshop, but the original design looks "right" to me:

This is the closeup of the DMCH wheels - they are still different sizes - 17 and 18 inches

Unfortunately a rear won't fit the front because it's far too wide unless you modify the wheel arch.

I like what they're doing, but I can't shake the feeling that they're standard alloys from another manfuacturer that've been modified - count the spokes. The dish on the rear is completely different also.

A-ha I see. Must be a perspective thing in the photo.

A for effort but just not quite the same design as the originals for me.

love the pics, and nice they are trying to make the car handle as good as Marina TT

I think they look nice but I'm not going to bother getting a set.

True - you'd need new tyres!
