+35 Johnd? That looks more like +10 or less to my eye. They look stunning! Are they available locally anywhere? 16x7's in the same offset would be perfect for Marvin... I love 8 spoke wheels on our cars, they are spot on! :D

Manufacture quality and finish is pretty good!
Wheels are only available from the US........but I gather this isn't too difficult, and the people there are good to deal with.
PCMX5 has just brought in 2 more sets (16s) for himself and another NB.
He may post a reply..........PETE????

Johnd and pcmx5, have you guys got the contact details of who you bought the wheels through? or website and name/model/style of the wheel? :D info please!

Thats a pretty good price.. I love the look of those! Nice work guys! :D youd almost be tempted to buy 5 just incase something untoward happened to one of them.

Cheers,
L.

edit... ahhh lol 18racing.. :roll: its too early lol :lol:
