Just had the Panasport rims mounted on new 185/65 R15 tires
What a difference in looks. I love it

Those look great Dan! Of course I'm not impartial as I have them on my 3 :wink: I actually just completed modifying the centercaps so that they have the original TR cloisonne caps on them. Looks pretty sharp.

Not the best nighttime photo, but you get the idea.

I love the look... Unfortunately my father insisted on wire wheels, which are okay. I think the Panasports make it look more like a sports car than the wire wheels, which just make it look old, IMHO.

Are those world logos from the center of the stock hub caps?

Dude, the TR3 is the sexist of all the Triumphs. I miss mine.

You know Bill, I really have to agree with you on that statement. They look really good in any color.

Yep. I drilled out the panasport ones and used a standoff nut on the hub cap centers to mount them.
