Bugatti Type 35B/C
Iconic simple design, reproduced by all and sundry since 1923. Audi used it to design the RS/S-Line rims

 When these came out werent a car model you wouldnt see with some on somewhere-still think they look ok on the right car(from same period)
I had two sets of these.
A set on an old seat ibiza i owned along time ago and a set on a 205 gti.
First ever set of aftermarket alloys i ever owned.

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.

RE: Whats your favorite alloy wheel of all time?
Loads of generic rims being chosen here.
I totally agree on the BBS and the Compomotive MO.
The TSW Stealth and Hockenheim definitely need to be on the list as do this lot which are recognised as iconic designs:
OZ Superturismo (TSW Imola is simply a copy)
VW Golf Spider legs
ATS Cup
ATS 5 spoke (VW)
Keskin KT5
Masitaly VT7
Ford Ronal RS 4 Spoke
Ford RS 7 Spoke
Speedline Peugeot 205 1.9GTi/Renault Clio Williams
Speedline Renault 19 Turbine
Minilite
Lamborghini Countach
Compomotive TH/FH (Ferrari 308)
Speedline Lancia Delta Integrale

ie if ya owned a mk3 escort you`d have series 1/2 turbo rims on it etc etc per different manufacturer, alloys from specific alloy wheel manufacturers for road cars were a fairly new thing.
