I think the best wheel remains the AeroMax wheel you have Peter.
I did not like the Speedster solid style wheel at first but now have come to quite like it after seeing it a few times. Is it due to "what you know is more comfortable" quite possibly?

I did always like that wheel on the older Plus8. I think it would be good to see the real thing on the car as it does show promise. I have found all the other wheels a little less exciting as they are not as iconic as the S1 or Max wheels. I would like to see a clone of the S1 wheel back again if that was possible?

As Peter knows, I have been thinking about the Speedsters on my 8 for a while.... still very undecided. Here's a photoshop:

Those Speedster wheels look lovely.

The traditional Plus 8 alloys just look wrong on low profiles somehow.

That's an excellent photoshop.......................

Initially I wasn't a fan of the Speedster wheels, but they do grow on me.

PS The Aero range does seem very sensitive to wheel choice, both in style and colour.

Those huge heritage Plus 8 wheels don't look good in the photoshops, but might look better in reality, on certain colours, and on certain Aero's.
On a Max they would look hideous I'm guessing.

I like that second picture a lot. Well cut in as well as a good match for the car.

How about adding the Series 1 wheel on the same photo so we can see those as well Mr technical wizard?

Very nice.

The photoshop is a little dependent on angles to make it look decent... the only one I have done is this one:
