Had a set of "Rockets" on her first(Pepper pack) but
got a set of Replica 'S' Spokes in 16" recently.
All the looks of genuine 'S' Spokes but without the weight and poor ride!

Follow the directions in the 'Site Feedback' forum. There's a sticky, locked thread there called 'How to post a Pic'.

I had to think long and hard about what wheels I would put on My MC in 2004 the car arrived with 'Fin' alloys and I had to decide on keeping them OR going with R90s I went with R90s . I like the 'fin' alloys on certain colours Hyper Blue being one of those .

When I bought the car the guy tried to convince me to go for either the 5-spoke Star alloys or a set of white S-spokes. The former I thought was a very nice wheel but had been around a long time, so I fancied the different look of the Fins, they look great side-on, but not that sexy from other angles. On a plus note they are a piece of piss to clean, which is great with those dirty standard brake pads.

I opted not to go for the white alloys as I think they would get in a state in no time and also they're not my thing.

Like the R90s though. Would probably go for something like the Superleggerras if I changed wheels, as they're sexy as hell.
