Question which wheels should I get

Its one of these 3, the MONDELLO is out of stock and will take 4 weeks the others 3-4 days. Your opinions will be appreciated as long as there true
Reason for choosind TSW is I can get a good deal, they fit my car well and for most of them they won't take 5 weeks to get in.

Humm, tough decision. I'd go with #3, then #1, then #2. I've always liked the 5 spoke look... But any of them would look good. ...

If I had to pick between those three it would be number 3, the 5 spoke. But to be honest I really am not that fond of any of those choices.

I'd go with number 2.

The thruxtons look too small once you see them on the car, especially with the rear's big lip.

To be sure tho, I'd have to see them on the car...

I would say #2, then#1, then #3. The mondellos look pretty sweet on. Check out PearlG coupe in the gallery.

I just ordered some TSW Lagunas - 20" with Toyo T1R rubber yesterday from my wheel guy in Barrie. They look nice on the car, and TSW's are a great deal. As for the Thruxton's, they look nice - even better in real life - but they are not available anymore from what I can gather through my wheel guy - and he has switched some customers out of them because of the wait. The Laguna has a nice big lip on it too - it's a 5 star split spoke - go to tsw.com to see it.

The only other comment about the Thruxton is that it's a "wannabe" 3-piece - done for cosmetic appearance only - and is obviously not a 3-piece wheel. It still does look nice.

Even if you can still find some Thruxtons, they aren't available in 20" - though I'm not sure what size you're after.

I'm also lowering the car a bit with H&R springs at the same time. I'll post some pics when it's done - the wheels were ordered yesterday from California, so they'll probably take a week to come in - or however long UPS takes.

Hope that helps. The Mondello's (IMHO) don't suit the car - though they are a nice wheel. Go to a wheel shop, and get them to place a wheel on a stand in front of your existing wheel, and see what YOU think.

I think you'll find that availability will play a role in your decision as well as what you like.

Good luck!

Mike
