finding 15" le castellettes isn't gonna be easy. but saying that i've seen several set come up in the last year so your best bet would be to scour the classifieds. unless gibby has a spare set floating around from where he bought a second set................

15" le castelletes are not easy to find in good condition and they're not cheap, your best bet is a refurb and I've answered that in another thread.  :smiley:

Be careful if looking for these wheels as they also did them in 14" !  :huh:

P.S. I've a spare set but unfortunately one set are for winter and the others for summer.

lol - I know, two sets of wheels family me !  :laugh: :laugh: Luckily I bought some off here earlier this year and they were mirror polished so I use them for summer and use my absolutely kerbed and battered ones for winter. I know how bad mine are but I reckon you will be able to get yours mint, it just takes a bit of time and money.  :smiley:
