richard - pls fell free to ask all the questions you like. i am currently running pirelli p-zero rossos on them. i got mine thru justin at torque ic who rang the main importer here (sori but can't remember the name - think it was DP Motorsports?) and got them at a good price. i got the tyres from micheldever also at a pretty good price and so was well happy overall.
funny enough - i have been thinking of selling the rims/tyres and upgrading to 19''s (with slightly larger rear tyres) but have been (a) unable to find the (rare) rims i want in that size nor (b) the (hard-to-come-by) tyres i really want in that size either. bah ...i'm sure given my luck, it will be far too expensive anyways for now! not sure what to do really .... i think if i cannot get what i really want, i will stick with them for now.
i am very happy with the rims and when really polished and set-off against a black car that has been lowered - it really looks the biz IMO. the 2nd pic barely does them justice ! BTW - thanks for the heads up on pristine as well ...
if you would like more pics - i'll have a trawl through and see what i can come up with.
TDraper - thank you very mcuh for your kind words and i am indeed looking at painting the spokes and keeping the rim a polished silver .....
