I suppose I am lucky really, having 2 sets. just cannot decide.

They both look as nice as each other :thumbsup:

, you are very lucky to have two sets. Are going to sell the set that you're leaving off the car? Personally I like the top set of wheels.

Straights by a mile.....t'others look too Lego-like...(sorry Jake!

raistlin · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 15:52 #4

Personally, I prefer the straights Dave.

Bernard · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 16:23 #5

Straights.

But why do you have to choose?

Keep a set for winter with appropriate tyres on.

JohnDotCom · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 16:38 #6

Personally its the straights for mew also.

Dave · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 16:51 #7

Top set for me too!

(hang on - "I hate the top set. The bottom set are great. I'll have the top set off your hands though......")

Hommer · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 16:52 #8

Dave , it's got to be the grids! :mrgreen:

Russ · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 16:55 #9

The Straights look a lot better Dave suits the car more.

IMO the grids look better on a MK2.

I will be keeping both sets, Gridspokes are a doddle to keep clean, you can get your hand through the spokes to keep the rest of the wheel clean. Both sets suffer minor kerbing, but not something i cannot live with short/mid term. I do like the centres on the straights, thanks to russ there

Just had a count up of what I have in my neighbours garage. ( not including what is on the car at the moment) :em:

8 gridspokes (7 with tyres of varying depth :em:

three of them suffering from parking by feel procedure from the wife. Always nerside front Always

, how does she do that?

)
4 straights ( the straights need a refurb and have 235/40/18 tyres on, gives them very similar profile to the 225 with just a little extra width).
Then i have 3 spare 235/40/18 tyres as well, need to get on ebay me thinks :gmc:

Good job the missus hasn't a key to the garage

So basically just spamming again then! :gmc:

Why not put one type one on one side, one type on the other? Then you can have both !!

:gmc:

Whats the story behind those centrecaps i have only seen them on the pre-launch photos of the ZS.

SpongeBob · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 18:14 #14

Just to throw my opinion in so I don't feel left out... :em:

I too agree with Russ in that the straights look better on the Mk1 shape of car whereas the Gridspokes seem to work better on a Mk2 MG rather than a Rover.

Dallas · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 18:32 #15

I think the Grids look much better, gives the car a look of strength to go with the beauty....

................ can I have them ? pleeeeeaaaase! :gmc:

Beejay · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 18:33 #16

Straights, but they would look far better on mine :mrgreen:

calibrax · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 19:00 #17

I vote straights, but it's close.. the gridspokes also look good!

jonjon77 · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 20:37 #18

l like the straights but the gridspokes do it for me

TyphoonTT · Posted 18 Sep 2010, 21:03 #19

Both sets look smart IMO Dave. Still got my straights.

Have you driven on the 235 /40's? Is there a noticable difference ?

Absolutely agree, the straights look superb and I would have had a set myself, when I put my Meteors on had it not been for cleaning restrictions. I have no access to a mains water supply here, and know from experience you really need a 'power' washer to keep those 'fine spokes' effervescent?

A 5 litre hand pumped, water filled crop sprayer, keeps the broad faced 17's at parade ground readiness though!
