aye these have never seen aniversary wheels, these are a hell of alot better tho, the annie wheels look too small and too gay in my personal opinion and id rather spend the money on something like these....
not sure why the annie rims look so small when they are 16's but to me they just dont look right..think it could be when the rims go all nasty and need refurbing that makes them look small...i dunno?

Post by: admc6 on 09 February 2008, 14:15: cheers for the input. i will defo have a look at edition 38.

Btw thats a nice anni you have there. I will have to put one of mine on for you.

Another quick anni question for you. When i got mine someone had taken the pinstripe off. But was it just on the bumpers or all round like the silver one?
