Meteors or Serpents? - Page 2

Teflon · 14th April 2014, 16:45

Not a lot of help so far - half non committal, and the rest 50/50! LOL

Sounds like I'm not the only one here who likes both sets of wheel. I just know if I change to Serpents I'll be green eyed over every car with Meteors, whilst at the 'mo, I'm envious of those with Serpents.

Thought: would it look completely stupid to have Metors one side, and Serpents the other? Then I would just have to decide which way round to park (another dillemma).

Edit: whilst typing the above, it seems to be tipping in favour of Meteors. hmmmm

The Meteors have a mildly sporty look and are very easy to keep clean. Serpents are very elegant, but a pig to keep clean (imo).

So, what are the thoughts of fellow members? These (with thanks to Grandy for the pic):

Or these:

Jsust can't make up my mind!!

I'd be happy with either, until it came to cleaning them. Then the meteors would win.

Maybe that's why I like the Cosmos design on my 45....

Go for Serpents Cliff.

A much nicer alloy wheel.

Thanks to Grandy for the picture.

I personally think it depends on the colour of the car.have seen serpents on darker cars and thought they didn't look right at all.I have serpents on Launch car , but think meteors would look equally as good ..If any one has a pic of a wedgwood blue with meteor on I would like to see if my thoughts are correct.

Your car would look fantastic even with a set of steel wheels!

Cliff I have got to say Serpents all the way but you got more work to do with serpents,as you know i have them on my car but I enjoy waxing them and making that silver sparkle shine through,i have had them on the car for nearly 7 years now still look as good as the day i put them on, SO for me SERPENTS
