Good job! Glad you've got a set that you like now. Bet you're glad you didn't pay all that money for the BBS ones! Not bad at all, have a safe trip to collect them, or are you gonna get them couriered down? Spose if you're not doing the school run now you need to keep the mileage up somehow!

Those would look awesome with the centres (all but the rim) sprayed gloss black.

cheers

Thanks James for giving the plan away LOL , picking them up Wednesday , 5 hour return trip with three kids in the van should be fun (not ) but worth it ( anyone got any chloroform I can borrow to knock em out )

Well I didn't know.... :P

I suggest a shock treatment of coca-cola and the crazy frog album played backwards at double speed. Together, these two could sedate an elephant, although the elephant isn't so susceptible to the subliminal messages revealed when the last track is played backwards...

cheers

They're not Volvo rims. There are some guys I know who could tell you straight off...all I can tell you is that they're aftermarket. I can probably find out if you're that bothered?

they could be BBs or alleycats which were popular on fords in the 80's, I am more than happy with what I got for the price

I'm not interested in these, I do like them though...
I just reserved 6 Mk2 GLT rims in prestine condition. I will be picking them up after the holidays.
I have a set of Cetus 15" rims for my own car.
