Nice! That's a fantastic looking 126. It's great that somebody has it, who is keeping it that way.

I also find them awful, but they grow on you. I first absolutely hated them, not that the stock Volvo wheels were any better Now I just see them as the easiest wheel in the world to clean! I just need to find a set of Aero I's in ET11 for sale when I have money Every time they go up for sale, I am broke.

Those wheels remind me of Pirelli P-slots ... but for Adidas. My friend has an awesome set of AMG monoblocks on his 420SEL. I hope to find a set myself at some point. Centra Type 31s are "kind" of cool too.

As far as the OEM 'look', like the Centras, I would shoot for the Lorinser LO's. They look much less dated, and the dish is subtle enough to keep the Q-car factor

Personally I like the look of Solid Snakes current wheels. Particularly when they are on the move and shimmering
