Yeah, the guy defo hasn't got a clue, do you live far from him? If not arrange to stop by and have a look. If they haven't got adapters though they will be mille miglia wheels.

Too far away just to have a look.

I'm on the edge at the moment, have asked for a better pic to be emailed to see how much refurbing they will need, i'm really compulsive so its hard not to just jump in with both feet.

Is it me or do the spokes look much thicker, they just don't seem to look as good as garry's

The wheels are smaller so they will look slightly thicker. This is a pic of mine (19's)

damn how much are those sticking out of the arches?? :blink: or is that just the picture?

It's the pic looks that way because the car is jacked up. The offset of these is ET35 they sit in the arches just nicely.

Damn it, wheels went up to £230 and i lost them, should have done the buy it now for £200.

Wonder if anyone off here got them.

Well I got mine back from the powder coaters but i'm not 100% on the colour ATM :shrug:. I think it looks too close to the colour of the car, but I did ask for anthracite and that's what I got.

What do you guys think?

last month i bought a pair of skirts and rear bumper (cheers dannyboi) fitted the skirts straight away as they was the same colour, but had to paint the bumper , so it got me thinking :think:
why not smooth the exhaust cut out , never did have plans to do an exhaust!
