It’s weird. I don’t think the wheels on the M5 are that nice. They look like the plastic wheel trims from a diesel. Yet… I like them on that M5. I can’t explain it.

Of that lot, I like the Alpine (but not those wheels), I like the Skyline a lot, the Golf is fun and I think the R21 is pretty cool. Not sure I’ll get any, though. If I did it would be the Nissan.

I like these rims. Today they look obsolete and effectively plastic hubcaps, but at the time they looked both stylish and sporty. The E34 also had them on the 535i (which, strangely enough, made more of an impression on me than the M5). Anyway, I'm glad OttO chose these rims, which are very much in line with the times of this model.

I think they looked like wheel trims from day one I am glad this model has them, because it’s rare to see an M5 with them.

That's what I think about them too, I'm also not keen that they make the car look like it has White banded tyres. I didn't realise that they have a function. I'm still not a fan of them though. Function over form: BMW M-System "Turbine" wheels

I just learnt this about throwing stars too,

What a world.

I had forgotten that I knew that! About those wheel trims being designed to aid brake cooling. I think that’s why I liked them; for their functionality rather than their form. It’s all coming back now. Those wheels are the connoisseur’s choice But I didn’t know the throwing stars were basically trims, too. Although that makes sense. Every day’s a school day!

I love that Visa van! I’m not sure why, but they always make me smile. It’s weird, I know

That Pug is pretty!

I’d struggle to even identify a Golf GTi as a GTi these days. You don’t look at it and think ‘that looks fun!’. Which was kinda the point of hot hatches

Did I see a Peugeot 305 saloon in red?

I like it. I wouldn’t buy it, but I’m intrigued about the source 1:1; was it to promote something?
