Yep.

Each to their own, but I hated them back then and they never saw a set that didn't have massive great gouges all round them. Just couldn't understand the attraction at all! They are indeed rare now though...

Escorts o'clock!

My 5th gen 17" TSW venoms, they looked absolutely gash!!

Best thing I ever did was change the wheels on my car.

Still got my gash venoms growing moss in my garden (where they belong IMO)

TSW have only ever designed one nice wheel, the "stealth" and they ripped that off Ford

I remember everyone had venoms on anything, they would turn up on some of the most unlikely cars, just because they fitted the stud pattern. I seem to remember people painting them orange, green, black etc. IMO best period rims are Momo Arrows (obviously) Borber A's, OZ Turbo, Compomotive Mo, OZ Superturismo (mk1) and TSW Stealths

Momo, TSW, Corsa and Saxo usually follow one another like little bum chums.

I dont remember the venoms being about at all. Unfortunately, its not that I am not old enough!!

Suspect it was during my motorcycling days while I was, of course, much more interested in bikes than any car.

They did a couple of nice ones. I didn't like the stealth, trying to remember the names of the ones I liked now...

Imola, that was one of the ones I liked.

And the Hockenheim R

I wouldn't mind some of those plain deep-dish alloy discs that were popular on (old) Beetles years ago. I don't know what they were called.
On the other hand, has anyone put wires with knock-offs on a 5th Gen (a bit like the DB5 Aston ones)?

OZ Superleggys

love that rim, getting harder and harder to find and not so keen on the newer version
