Default Someone hurt me



I'm considering yet another set of wheels

Would like honest opinions as I can get these to fit. They are disconitued BBS RC's in 8.5 x 18's

But i'm not sure if they would actually suit a Esc Cos.. are they too bling?

anyway pic.. realistic pic aswell as they never look the same in life to the catalogues lol

Looks stunning Paul
think these would only work on one of the darker colours so your in luck. have to say you change your wheels way too much, how many sets has that been since the car has been off the road?

Those wheels are best suited for a 3dr over an Escos me thinks.

I remember seeing those on an Aubergine one years and years ago (Think i was 15) So must have been nice if i remember it so well..

I really like them! But as Neil said, suits a darker car better

I probably will stick with my mags I just have a fetish for wheels

Cromodoras are the nuts but they are very weak never seen a set for sale that hasn't got cracks or weld repairs

these are CROMADORAS mate



seems to me that some people don't understand Tarmac rally wheels.
they get proper hammer,bent buckled driven on with no tyres
they eventually will need straightening or welding up.
or some top rally teams chuck them or sell them to a wheel specialist
who repairs them.
most people with prized cozzies don't buy gear that has been thrashed
and repaired but that is exactly what Magnesio Tarmac rally wheels
are made for.

BBS, no ta.

Every 2nd Golf Turbo Diesel around here has 'em.

& my wife's old Golf Cabrio had 'em & that was very girly.

Ok, if you've got a Sierra 3 door & you wanna keep it period.

But nowhere else.
