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....

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.
