Default Niche 3 pc wheel: 21" Which style?

Glass black spoke / Gloss white hoop. I'm leaning to the Alpine D (all silver example) or the Invert (black with blue lip example)

I am getting very close to pulling the trigger on these.

Just wanted to get some feedback. What do you guys think?

What I truly like about this design over others I've seen are the way the spokes "float" over the flange for a 3D look.

I've made an inroad at Niche and may be able to get us a GB discount if all goes well as they may sponsor my car for a photoshoot. Fingers crossed.

Notify me if you see a style you like, and if all goes well I'll get you included.

Very nice designs as you can see.

Here are more...

If you like the floating designs, look here...

The last example is the Concave stepped lip / elevated spoke. Any wheels can be designed like this if you see a style you like!

I really like them.

The dimensionality of the spokes evokes the 3D layered effect of the classic Jaguar wire wheels. It also complements the sculptural quality of the F-Type.





In general I'm a fan of tasteful mods that move away from the murdered black look which I think is where automotive design goes to die.

In my opinion picture 5 looks the best. black with the bushed aluminum spokes.

Yea smoke I like those too for a black car. Nice contrast. For my white, I'm going to flip it...

I like the hoop to match the car. I love the brushed too but it doesn't work for a white car because of the lack of contrast. Brushed clashes with white.

Ibiza, but I'd go polished gold hoop, darker windows, and white spoke face/accents.
