Hello everyone, I'm new to this site.
Has anyone bought new 14" wheels recently?
If so can you please post a picture.
Are 14" wheels so out of fashion that no-ones running them

I have seen a few. Most people go with 15s when retaining the classic style chrome wheels. Thats what I have.

I thought you had Granada brakes on your car? Those wheels clear the brakes? If so, thats awesome. It looks great. I tried some regular steel 14 inch wheels (temporary) and they wouldn't fit on my car with the Granada stuff.

Yes, those wheels clear the granada brakes without a problem . Even with some balancing wheights on the inner side of the rims there is enough clearance.
But when i`m honest i would like to change my wheel size to 15" . There would be more tire options in our tire shops and the handling would step up a bit . I definately will keep the look of the wheels, i like it very much!

Thanks, they also cleared my granada brakes. This car (which is for sale now) now has 15in Magnum 500's on it.
