I had a set of those wheels before I had mine and sold them, really wish I hadn't now as they look great on your car.

I'd quite like them but you'd get a better price perhaps from Herbert at Post Motorsport http://web10.vs157169.vserver.de/ who is also very good for parts/engine work

Or possibly Reinhard at http://www.rallyeteam-honke.de/ would buy them from you, he uses quite a few. You can see from his parts for sale list what he charges for his used wheels/tyres

I agree, the seats do look good and 389ps, should give it a bit of poke.

Not a lot of space for a 10 x 17 though, I have 9 x 17 and although they fit, the tyres can touch the bodywork at times.

enjoy, kenny.
