MOMO REVENGE ANTHRACITE
Specs: 17 x 7, ET45, weight tbc







A pretty decent alternative for those who want a 17 inch branded wheel, found in the UK and landed here for around $1,500 AUD including freight, duties and taxes. These are available in black and silver and larger sizes as well.

VW GOAL
Specs: 18 x 7.5, ET51, weight 22.8lbs/10.3kg





An OEM five spoke option available both in the above specs and also a smaller 17 x 7.5 ET50. The smaller size can be bought online new from Germany and the USA but freight, duties and taxes probably push these out to around $1,400-$1,500. The 18 inch seem a bit harder to find, best bet on both wheels would be an eBay or forum purchase. Anyway this is this thread's nod to the World Cup.

Interesting color scheme, but a classic old school wheel.

Brings back memories of my E30 Beemer with BBS rims. I loved that car. Not that it was green though. Or pink

Haha, a good thing me thinks.

The E30 was probably the first car I really desired growing up (I was never a Lambo on the wall kid) and had an idea of a black one with gold BBS a la the John Player Special cars.

My first car then turned out to be a Mitsubishi Sigma - with factory alloys!

Dutch, what are your thoughts on ROH wheels? I used to think they were for Commodores but they’ve got some nice wheels in their range now, like the Arrow and the Evolution series. Road Series | ROH Wheels Australia

So if I said I fitted ROHs to my first Commodore..?

The new range on that link isn't bad, they've borrowed a few European looking designs. The Spyder has a bit of an S3 feel to it; the Evolution is your standard y spoke mesh etc. I think the biggest issue will be fitment - their only 5x112 PCDs are in their light truck/van range.
