Are there any turbine-style wheels that look better

[integrale_evo]

Aye, they don't usually call them turbines but the C4 Corvette wheels are ace.

vette wheels are great. Handed too I think which definitely gets bonus points.

I love the clio ones, but they’re not handed which is annoying.

Yes, but - not a patch on the Williams alloys are they?

I would respectfully disagree They're both nice and completely different things. Williams Speedlines on a 1.8 16v would be affront

The Williams is hardly a different thing - same bodywork, for a start.

Car Magazine had a 16v on silver versions of the gold Williams alloys before the Williams appeared, and they're perfect on it.

I meant the wheels are very different things. Clearly the 16v and Williams aren't

These are probably the nicest i8 wheels, and they’re handed

Yeah the 993 Turbo has similar looking wheels, they have more of a twist in the spokes though.

There's a 993 in the spec very similar to below (but with darker colour wheels) that seems to be permanently parked near my office - the wheels really suit it IMO.


When Merc SLRs were currently I much preferred the 722 style wheels, but not I think I actually prefer the turbine style on the standard one.

Yeah, they are the best oem wheels for a 993 imo.

I'm a big fan of the 17" Cup2s on a 993; the 18"s look a bit too big for the car. And the finish on the ones on the C2s with slightly darker centres is just perfect:

What @Jobbo said - Cup2’s work great and the Turbo twisty wheels spokes always looked chunky and therefore visually “heavy” to me.

Mille Miglia made an 18” Cup-esque design for a while that arguably look even better…. But weren’t the best quality apparently.

Too big - they look ill-poportioned.

There was a 17" version of the 15" Corrado VR6 Speedline wheels made which attracted a fair bit of enthusiasm but to me they looked wrong:





ETA: those larger ones are described as 16"s on Reddit where I found that image, but I was sure they were 17"s - still look wrong, whatever.
