I'd be putting minilites on my mod van if I could get a set at reasonable cost. But I got my next choice (traditional style older mags in NZ/Aust) for dirt cheap.
I love to see nice wheels but keep the rest standard.
Yip a nice set of wheels does make a difference to any vehicle while still retaining the option of going back to original in about 5 mins. My dad has always had a set of alloys on his cars. Just yesterday was a saga of a deal with dad and sister/bro-in-law to get them both kitted out too on their moderns.
Minors don't suit modern mags or wheel covers - in my opinion.

I don't like Minilites on Moggies personally but it depends on the rest of the car if it fits or not. Also, think the rear luggage rack looks cool but the double over riders???WHAT were they thinking?

dunno - they were fitted on a Ute (which never had overriders originally) two were in the normal places and two were fitted to the bolts round the sides of the front bumper.
As per...
but this guy has lots of minors...
