the more i look at them, the more undecided i am, i liked the 15s on the red, the style went with it immediately, but this one's proving a bit tougher....the mrs likes the original 13s.......

plus i have another set of original 13s sans tyres coming to me soon, this could get iffy in a hurry......

I'm imagining the 13" wheels polished up and I think they look much sharper than those 15s. The convex shape of the 15s isn't doing it for me, sorry :(

Your 13s are a little different from the standard Uno Turbo alloys that I've seen. Mine have a flat face where yours have a raised band around the bolt holes. The outer edge of this band seems to add even more definition to the spokes. I reckon they'll look awesome when polished.

Cheers,

If I had to choose then I'd stick with the 13's too. The 15's look ok, not 'silly modern' like some styles people fit to Unos but I just prefer the oldschool look. Plus the rolling radius of the two in Jai's pics is quite a bit greater, which will affect acceleration as well as putting the speedo out.

I guess it's all down to personal preference.

:yeahthat:

Later Uno turbo alloys had this recess bit in the middle. They do look good and polished up would look well tasty :yum:
 
hey wicked man you putting a turbo in there if you can squezz one though i would have a try how about 1.6 16 brava and trim all the parts off and put it in the back could have a try tho
 
hmmm, much food for thought.......an option could be, the second set of 13s coming soon, could be cleaned up and powder coated white, the set already on the car can be polished, instant change of look by swapping between them

the 15s? put them on the panda:p
 
just got back in from a 4 hour trudge round the M25....but worth it i think:
