Best B&M invert wheel covers

[madhjsp]

B&M inverts have had some pretty sweet custom wheel covers over the years. Which are your top 5 favorite ones?

For me:
1) Dragon Challenge/Dueling Dragons

2) Katun

3) Phaethon - I know I've seen a better picture of them somewhere, but I was having trouble finding it.

4) Montu

5) Alpengeist - Simple, but I've always found them intimidating somehow

Note: I searched way back and apparently this topic has been done, but the last post was back in January 2008 and a lot of new members have joined since then, myself included. I didn't want to necropost, but I thought it'd be cool to reignite this topic because, frankly, I think it's a pretty good one.

I quite like nemesis inferno's:

Simple but effective.

Wow! I've never seen the DD ones before (or never paid any attention). I love 'em!

I don't like any of the UK invert wheel covers, they just look like crappy motorcycle helmets.

Tbh, I rarely look for that sort of detail, I'm more interested in riding them, but I think I'll make a conscious effort to look at them from now on.

Dueling Dragons' and Katun's are quite nice and are probably my favourite ones. Mamba's are okay as are Montu's, but they don't really have any interesting shape or anything. Like Ian said, they all just look like decorated motorcycle helmets!

These are a bit hard to see, but Great White's are pretty cool:

Even the underside of the fiberglass portion of the chassis is decorated:

This has got to be the gooniest topic in the world ever! hahaha

Similar to Ian, I never realised that there were shaped ones out there. I assumed they were all just the rounded ones (some with a nicer paint job than others). I like the Katun ones. They're fab.

The worst are certainly Nemesis Inferno's!

I agree with Nic.. this is goonish.

Still, I really like the way DD's first row restraints are tongue coloured!

Phaethon - I know I've seen a better picture of them somewhere, but I was having trouble finding it.

I can't for the life of me think where that might have been!

i know it sounds stupid because there are so many awesome looking ones.
but ive always liked the covers on talon. im not sure why they just look good to me

 

[Mysterious Sue]

Great White's teeth are marvelous, hee hee!

I really liked Black Mamba's covers - not only are they patterned to look like a diamond snake skin, but they reminded me of aboriginal dreamtime/tribal painting, so fitted in quite nicely with the African area

 

[Nic]

they reminded me of aboriginal dreamtime... so fitted in quite nicely with the African area

*facepalm*

 

[Mysterious Sue]

I knew someone would say that. I just meant it was very tribal. I'm not a complete moron lol!

 

[Antinos]

Black Mamba also has the cobwebs under the seats that add a nice touch to the trains as well.

 

[Mysterious Sue]

I never noticed those Antinos, they are quite cool...

 

[madhjsp]

That's cool but kind of odd, since a Black Mamba is a snake, not a spider.
