Edit: my mistake, i just spoke to my mate who works at audi, he wasn't going to charge me VAT on them and put them through at cost aswell.  :evil: so worked out cheaper than e-gay. Soz.

i bought some standard steelies at a knock down price as they had some decent tyres on them

I had just intended to use them as my winter wheels but liked them that much they will be a permanent fixture.

When the better weather arrives, they will be getting sprayed black to sit on my standard Tornado Red 90 spec 8valve.

Cheers

'Driver' steels are 14 inch diameter with round holes...
'G60' steels are 15 inch diameter with triangle style holes... Dish is same i think?!

If you ever see G60 steels and Driver wheels next to eachother you really can tell the difference!  :cool:
