Anyone seen these rim protectors before?
« on: 15 March 2010, 19:50 »
Just browsing through a few sites and came upon these:

Anyone seen these before? Don't think they would suit Monza Shadows, but for my current Alfa with no rim protection, would be great
Carbon Grey 5dr GTI

I waited and waited for a response from either you or Steve.
On cue, you took the 'plunge'!
You are both such a bunch of rimmers. :laugh:
I think I might invest in silver or black ones. I am tending towards silver as it makes my 18" look bigger!!!! :laugh:
