Top three timeless wheel designs?
In you opinion what are the top three timeless wheel designs?

I say 8 spoke mesh, 5 spoke split, and a 10 or 12 spoke like the HRE 893r

IMO, the top three timeless wheel designs are; a five spoke, a cross-spoke and a multi-spoke.

American Racing Torq-Thrust without a doubt...............the all time largest selling aftermarket wheel. Closely followed by the Cragar SS and the Ansen Sprint . These are the actual 3 greatest selling designs of all time. And there were hundreds of copies of each. BBS never had anywhere near the volume of those 3, but it is surely a classic.

I agree with the Torque Thurst and Cragar SS, over 40 years of these wheels being produced. I vote Fikse FM/5 and BBS for creating/starting the Mesh design. iSS has a pretty close copy of the FM/5 and FM/10 so much so they even named the wheels FS-5 and FM-10?
