Yeah they are similar, but then I like the split spoke look, but they are a lot thicker spoke!!

Oh, so that was YOU!!!!!!! I was going slow as I had my old wheels plus a little black dog in the car. I was dropping the wheels off to Mia's!
You was hacking it down that road!!! I heard you, then woooooshhhhhhh you had over taken and gone!!!!!!!
Thought I recognised the plate, but wasn't sure if it was off here or not!!!!
I was able to wave on the second viewing though!!!

Hi, well I was going to put them on Ebay, but if your interested (seriously) and want them, make me an offer. They have 3 good tyres and had a brand new tyre fitted about 2 wks ago due to a puncher. They will need refurbing at some point, but are a great set off "non" scooby alloys, especially if you are doing a brake upgrade as they fitted over my 4 pots. Not 100% about Brembos though? Oh, they are by BK Racing by the way. PM me if you are interested and make me an offer, otherwise I will putting them onto Ebay.

Lippy x
