alloys.......what are the most beautiful?

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

@ Murf

Not identical, but very similar, however mine are 15s or 16s, can't quite remember (step-bro has borrowed her). I think they're 16s, but that might be wishful thinking...

Those Vega ones look interesting, with that left hand centre cap in the pic on the main site... don't think I've ever seen them on a car though... I like my Tauri, they look very chunky with 205 tyres :D

Atev

Post by V480TI » Sun Aug 14, 2005 3:45 pm

Do not buy these Atev wheels.

This design of that wheel was patented by the firm AZEV (that is the correct name of the manufacturer).

It's a shameless copy of original wheels.
Even the little diamond has been copied.

I do not know how the quality is, but I wouldn't buy them.

I heard about wheel copy's with a slightly changed name of the manufacturer and I heard about major problems with these replicated wheels. That's the only reason I put this message on, to warn.

shut your head

Post by V480TI » Sun Aug 14, 2005 8:44 pm

and not to piss somebody off. If I did than I am sorry.

But they are beautiful wheels. I agree.

If you look into the wheels you can read somewhere 17. from 17 inch.

They are nice rims.

I will have to agree with V480TI that they are copies of AVEZ who are one of the best wheel manufactures around. They do not change their name for the EU

i just can't see how
atev/atez
has anything to do with
AZEV
They look good, if they were cheap too it'd do me. Bit late in the day for me to start pointing the finger for theft of interlectual propery.
