ok WOW, i really really like that, but i dont want to get them poweder coated, the most work i wanted to do to it is polish it, and i was hoping tha ti could do it my self, the only amount of extra money i wanted to spend was on wheels...im SOOO tempted now :cry: why adam whyy lol

hehe sorry...and as pettsy said they're not at the perfect angle so probably would look better than that.....and why not just polish the lip which wouldn't be much work and then spray the centres black maybe? only cost bout £10 in spray paint then :wink:

dunno if your interested but i've got a set of cross spoke 15" that look pretty cool....i was planning on refurbing them with black centres/polished lip when i get a chance but u could have them for £100? plus we're in meeting distance. in pretty good nick...got some kerbing round the edges but very easy to fix if your doing a refurb...i'd be sad to see them go tbh but if you want them let me know.

i was hoping to maybe have these wheels on my car when i do my GT conversion with rolled arches as they do stick out but i thought it looked so great with them on it :cry:

how wide are they? i dont know how it works, if you decide how wide teh tires are going to be or they have to go according to the rim or if there is a range of sizes you could have...

when i bought them the guy sold them as 15" 6J but now you say that they do look pretty wide...i'm pretty sure they're 15" but they might be wider if it's not raining tomorrow i'll go have a measure of them (in garden under sheeting)

they were a really far out offset too so they didn't touch any of the internal bits....only the outside arch which would cause probs but your planning on rolling your arches aren't you?

i'm not denying these are a daunting set of wheels for the size etc but i just think they look soooo cool....and i think pretty rare in england too, quite a few of these on german ebay but never seen these in uk before

don't worry if you don't buy 'em i'll keep 'em for my future project :wink:
