Slots rust and the chrome peels, brake dust eats it off, i'd go the 8 inch tridents and ger's, classic package.pity BBS pit lanes won't fit, or gold simmons forgot about them.

I had tridents on my old xa coupe looked sillythose big rear guards on the coupes need up wide wheels

Tridents up till EA falcon, then they look stoopid.

Hotwires with a deep dish suit most old cars,tridents are ok but I don't like the black centres, I 've got Ansen Sprints on mine that have the solid centre (no black out) and spinners,,magnum 500's sre very cool plus yea I agree Hq rostyles look good too

Reminds me of Granvilles Dangler those wheels

muzz67, Jul 20, 7:23pm
We called em 'peanuts' cos only monkeys liked em.
Deepdish Hotwire, Turbo's, or Globes.

gunhand, Jul 20, 7:53pm
Brother had those on a Plymouth, yep they were called 800s as well

extrayda, Jul 20, 7:53pm
Anyway, back to topic.
I had hotwires on both my XA's, my HQ came with Turbo's which I really don't like, so I put a set of tridents on it (polished) which I thought suited it. Never liked 12 slots at all for some reason. I looked for a set of Hustlers for the HQ, but found the Tridents first.Missed out on a bargain set of 14x8 and 15x8 Ansen Sprints because I thought about it too long, went back and they were gone (swapmeet).

Are you joking or what! They are modgies - US800s are way different.

Yep^ as per extrayda.

I always thought Hotwires looked best on old jappa's they seem to look best on small cars

xpfairmont, Jul 21, 8:07am
and I like how in Oz they call Tridents "jelly beans"

dr.doolittle, Jul 21, 8:08am
Oooooo.yeah, they both look good. Nice XA too.
I think I like the Tridents better, but only just.
Thanks for sharing the pics so we can compare.

No worries,

One car I should have kept, along with the XAGT coupe I had.
