Default Serpents or Meteors

I'm picking up my new 75 next weekend, which I'm looking forward to!

The car currently has Meteors fitted, but I've always been a massive fan of Serpents, and have bought a set in anticipation of the car's arrival. However, I'm really not sure which wheels I'll run it on.

So, can I please see as many cars with each wheel as possible, so I can make a decision! Even better if it's a White Gold Tourer!

I had the same problem. I ran on Meteors for 9 years or more, and have just changed over to Serpents (but am keeping the Meteors as well).

I think Serpents are perhaps the better looking wheel, but Meteors are soooo much easier to keep clean (and are nice looking as well).

Serpents:



Meteors:



No easy answer I'm afraid.

Same dilemma mate, Got 5 Serpents on the car at the moment (well you know what I mean) and there is a set of 4 meteros for sale in the town, very cheap.

My 2 Favourite Wheels, decisions, decisions.

Sorry, no help to your plea I know.

There you go, a white Tourer in Serpents and Meteors. With apologies to Lovel for messing with his pic. I'll happily delete it if needed.

Meteors for me, serpents are too fussy.
