I just got a feeling they will be pretty decent lad reakons there pretty mint condition with the odd mark on the outer dish but for that kinda money its a spare set of wheels to play with  :grin: as I said they could look pretty crap but then again may just change the look abit have to see thanks  :wink:

Right went and fetched these wheels today and I was pretty surprised in the condition as there not to bad at all.I dont think there spilts and theres the odd mark but not bad at all so I decided to put them on the car.My old BBS I dont think are RXIIs as Ive noticed when I had the tyres removed there 6.5" wide and an ET42 which is a different spec to my old RXIIs the red and black ones.These are ET35 and 7.5" wide and without a doubt fill my arches far better and I know it sounds mad but the car feels abit more planted lol probly just me lol.Ive got some spacers not sure what they are think there 5mm gonna put them on the rear and ive got to try and find some centre caps but not to bad for £91 they maybe not everyones cup of tea so im expecting some negativity  :grin: :wink:






Pictures ent great it was pissing down  :grin:

I can't make my mind up if I prefer these to the black and red ones you had, either way they are nice wheels and well worth buying... Look smart, think they'd look even better if your car was satin black!  :lipsrsealed:   :grin:

Looking good :afro:

I can't help thinking that they'd look better in a different shade of red though, they look a bit too glossy for my liking  :undecided:

Loving the dish though  :cool:

Not to much done really other than Ive had a complete U-turn on my wheels and put my BBS back on  :grin: ive also removed the all red rears and put the original smoked lenses on.Replaced the red pin stripe all the way round which now works far better with the darker wheels.Im going to lower the front end so it looks abit more planted up front im also going to get some red BBS centres and thats how its staying.Few pictures didnt get to do the pin stripe till later why the pictures are dark thanks for looking  :wink:
