Meteors or Serpents?

Teflon · 14th April 2014, 16:26

Having seen Grandys excellent pic of Reebs car wearing a rather nice set of Serpents, it has set me thinking. My car currently has Meteors, but shouls I switch to Serpants?

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!!

Serpents are definitely my favourite 75 wheels, but, as I think your car is a bright colour, it pulls off the more substantial-looking Meteors very well indeed.

Both cars look superb in Lagoon, both style of alloys are an upgrade, and both very desirable.

I had meteors on mine but found a set of serpents on ebay with new tyres and two spares for silly money. I sold the meteors but I'm not sure about the serpents now as they are a bit 'fussy'.

I think that's called being non committal

I would go with the serpents much nicer looking and worth the extra work

Of course your car would look much better with serpents rather than those ugly meteors.

Should you sell the meteors I could be interested.......

I have to say Meteors... Nice and smooth.

Meteors for me every time, less fussy, easier to clean and give the car a cleaner more modern look.

Up until I bought my present 75 I'd only seen Serpents in pictures and didn't like them.
Went to view my present car thinking I won't like the Serpents so will change them. When I saw them in reality, I thought, WOW they look great.
So now I'm a Serpent fan.
