Default New LTD Edition Inovit Redline alloys

Well as some of you know i have been trying to hunt down a set of gun metal grey inovit redline alloys but everyone is out of stock. Anyway, looked on ebay today and came across these, what do you guys think? Do you think they would look good on my white classic as i'm tempted to get these instead

Those alloys would look great on your car but definitely without the red rim.

Still cheap-**** rip off replicas of the original Speedline/Prodrive design.Avoid at all costs I'd say.

is a fair point elmer, but i personally havent heard of any breaking under pressure etc, so must be decent replica's. couple members in humberjapcars have the rep's and theyre pretty strong imho.

i have wondered however why its only the oz-racing p1 wheels and the pff7s that have been replicated by companies like inovit

(for the record i have genuine p1 wheels on my chav chariot)

I had some..they cracked!!

not only that,the overall finish was generally sh!te and the inner rim is like a different(undercoat) colour as they're too tight to paint the entire rim the same shade!

admittedly i didnt know that. when moneys better i am considering getting white ones as i prefer white to anthracite on a red car personally.

with regards the cracking, did you smack a kerb or anything to provoke it, or was it just general pootling around which caused it. again, ive not heard of any others cracking, or not thus far at least.

Theses are the wheels i kept getting offered instead of the gunmetal this week when i was trying to get a set!

In the end i went for them in the black with no red rim!

It all boils down to personal choice & taste mate!

I say go for them!

I have spoken to at least 5 other members who have these wheels and they have had no problems with them, so i'll stick with the nasty cheap replica's that crack if it's all the same to you!
