not only depends on individual makes & models but also wheel size & dish depth but stance of the car & style the owner is looking for. & subjective in the end anyway

I'd prefer Tridents myself. More recognisable as a 'classic' wheel & way easier to clean.
At the risk of sounding repetitive, they also give the car a 'cleaner' look.

Tridents.

tridents are so boring they're like claytons whisky,, the mag you have when you aint got mags.

Only thing tridents suit are valiants, especially chargers. Hotwires are the sex! Especially on torana's. You can buy them new now, about $3500 from memory.

xagt replica. everything was real gt but the cut outs on rear valance for exhaust. its up in auckland somewhere now with different wheels and a big ass supercharger hanging out the bonnet.still got the p plates in my garaage EVILXA

Get some globes or throwing stars or stick with the 8 inch tridents.

Looking for the barf icon. Yuck.
My pick would be the hotwires as I really like them. Another really nice option would be a set of old school Simmons which also look awesome on older cars

14x8 Hotwires. New 245/50/14 Eagers.

wimwom, Jul 20, 7:10am
Looked at both for mine but ended up just putting charger rims on it, happy with how it looks!

Hotwires on my XB, prefer them to Tridents. Tried a few different things on my XE but ended up back at factory alloys.

xpfairmont, Jul 20, 7:54am
Neither. I like hustlers or standard rims and hub caps

gmphil, Jul 20, 9:01am
Eww hustlers yuk justa rostyle gone bad lol
centerlines there nice

Turbos (or 12 Slots) on a Falcon XA-XD.
Tridents (Or Magnums) on a HQ - HZ.
Hotwires on Torries! LC - LX.
Just my opinion

attitudedesignz, Jul 20, 10:22am
Tridents = Coons (XA only tho')
Hotwires = Toranas
Turbos = HQs

I'm a big fan of GTS rostyles or GM Rallye rims on HQs

I have 14" Hotwires for my Falcon
