    Fitted Irmscher alloys - which one to keep?

    Replaced today my Turbo alloys with Irmscher softstars. I would like to know your opinions, which ones to keep?

    I do like the turbo rims, but on that car the softstars suit better IMO.

    Both nice wheels but I'd say softstars. My bro recently put some on his 16v SRi Hatch too.

    Softstars ! Cracking looking wheel imo

    Friend of mine had a lagoon blue saloon - All he did was colour code the handles, put in black coachline & painted the wheels black - Looked great imo !

    Softstars by a country mile compared to the turbo rims. Look a million times better imho.

    Do you lot think its because Turbo rims do not suit Lagoon Blue or hatch?

    I had softstars on my old V6 in Rioja Red (scrapped), and must say on Blue one looks MILES better. Actually they suit car very well!



    Is it because current one is lowered?

    Re: Fitted Irmscher alloys - which one to keep?

    It's quite possibly as much to do with the colour of the car as well as the stance tbh. Those turbo rims just don't seem to suit the car, whereas the Irmscher ones look great.

    Re: Fitted Irmscher alloys - which one to keep?

    Well said! I just need lower it more, around 40, or even 60mm and it should look great with lower profile tyres. I cant really think about getting other alloys to fit Cav now
