Face-off 'Unions vs. meteors'
 

Just voted, only my personal opinion....

Was in Rotorua late last year, loved it!

I'd ask for nothing less!

Day in and day out with the sulfur isn't too good on the chrome. Though mine seems to be holding out ok - probably because it's good quality. Pleased you liked the place.

Just loved NZ, so much beautiful countryside and wonderful people. Spent a month in total and travelled from Auckland to Christchurch with some fantastic stops in between, Wonderful country....

the one on the right. Mainly as it would be easier to clean :D

I voted Unions hoping that it was teh Picture on the left !!!!

If not ....... oops.........

Dont like shiny alloys........:getmecoat:

Hmmm, this is an unexpected result. 60% unions 35% meteors.

Just to clarify the unions are on the left.

To provide another perspective here are pictures of Rover 75s with the alloys - just in case anyone wants to change their mind;).


Why do people prefer the 16" Unions?

I prefer the Unions as they look better on the Car and the Meteors don't.

Just my opinion and no offence intended whatsoever, but I feel that most of the "Shinier" Chromey Alloys look tacky. Unless they are Chrome Wire wheels on a Triumph or MG etc..

Out of both your Photos I would say that the Unions compliment your Car and fit very nicely with the Cars style, whereas the Meteors stick out like a sore thumb and really do nothing for the Cars presentation.

16" are a little bit more comfortable than 17" in my opinion. So I'd prefer the look of the Meteors (just a little bit), but in concern of the ride quality I'd go for the Unions. Especially because they look good, too.

IMO the Meteors look unfinished and a little on the cheapo side. Whereas the Unions ooze class and suit the car much better.
