The purists may wince, but I think Vitesse alloys will always look great on any SD1

Nice car, Sir

I had someo on mine for a while and they did look great but the car just looked like any other Sd1 without its gold wheels so i refurbed them and stuck back on.

Plus with the bigger wheels it did sit even HIGHER off the ground Shocked

that's a beautiful car. the wheels do set it off nicely. they're like the rest of the car - you pay your money, you take your choice. if you wanted to put the wheels off a sherpa van on there, you could do and it would still be a great car! and i bet you don't see many of those over in sweden.

Nothing wrong with Vitesse wheels.......
but these are genuine classic BBS-MAHLE motorsport wheels Cool

7x15 ET 30.
The lower offset and the extra width makes them line up perfectly with the arches.
Tyres are 215/55-15, same overall size as standard 195/70-14
