Has anyone got Y Spoke alloys on their car? I fitted a set to the Tourer about a year or so ago but have yet to see any on another car . . .

Had some on the V6 when I got it, not my cup of tea I'm afraid, got some Serpents as soon as possible.

Horrible to clean but can look good as long as the chrome is in good nick.

As you all seem to be having trouble with the the concept of y spokes, perhaps this will help:

Thanks for the clarification TF. ;)

I like them but look a pain to clean, I know Jules had a set of these new up for sale,
but as you say don't see many around (well I haven't)

They look just like steel wheel covers. Not a fan I'm afraid, I love serpents but these no

Yup...they look pretty similar to me..... :confused:

Sorry...back on topic...I pass a 75 with these wheels on regularly...they look quite nice in the flesh but an absolute pig to clean....

I put a set on mine about 6 months ago, still a bit unsure about them though.

They do look better than what was on though.
