Before & 'after' pics - wheel upgrade opinion
Hello
I've been offered a set of teledial rims in good nick for £150. Have done a mock up on photochop to gauge how it might look.
Whaddya think peeps? Originals or teles? 
More so, are they the same PCD/offset etc? Both sets are of course 16".
Cheers!

Re: Before & 'after' pics - wheel upgrade opinion
I can't see the images but teledials go very well on the 147. I wouldn't change for them if I had (as I have) the 16" Sport tho.  |

Re: Before & 'after' pics - wheel upgrade opinion
With Alfie GTV, I looked at both pics, and reckon the originals go best, the others look just too fussy. That old personal choice thing again. |

Re: Before & 'after' pics - wheel upgrade opinion
I had the teles on my first 156 - always wanted the selespeed sports. Keep the originals. Nice wheels.
Now if they were 17" GTA teledials ... maybe.

Re: Before & 'after' pics - wheel upgrade opinion
I do like the orginal ones, but the tele's on a 147 remind a little of my alfa sud cloverleaf with the round hole alloys.

Re: Before & 'after' pics - wheel upgrade opinion
IMO, teledials don't really suit the shape of the 147. Save your money and stick with the wheels you've got.

Re: Before & 'after' pics - wheel upgrade opinion
I've gotta say I prefer the Tele's, looks different and stylish on a 147..
However, you should try and get hold of some 17" GTA Multispokes or GT Multispokes, they look awesome on a 147! |

Re: Before & 'after' pics - wheel upgrade opinion
I think the 17" supersports look best on the 147. Teles only work on GTV's and 156's if you ask me.

Re: Before & 'after' pics - wheel upgrade opinion
Both look good....the Seles just have the edge on a 147. I think. |
