Which Alloys look "original"?
My present alloys are letting the side down in their present condition and I need new tyres anyway so looking at wheel and tyre packages, but want the new wheels to look as original and in keeping as possible.
I realise that wheels are very subjective, but what do you think of these:

There are a million and one wheels you could choose for your car but as has been said - it's your car so cant really understand why ask for other peoples opinion? Choose the wheels you like not what a demographic tells you!

I have thinking to do. The other alternative is to have the present wheels refurbed, but then that's going to cost me ?200, plus I need 4 new tyres anyway. I've also got the added problem that there is a tube in the rear nearside, due to a poor seal from the alloy.
Having seen a set of Scalas refurbed, they look fantastic…..
Now I have a headache….. 8O

And definatly not the fox wheels, theyd look shocking, they do not on a car so if you banged them on a mk1, itd look terrible.
sorry.
Mk1s dont like ripspeed and fox racing.
Basically halfords.
