I said yes. fitted em and everything... they looked exactly like the old ones
A week later Speedart rings me up and says can he buy em back as he has bloke desperate for what turns out to be only set in country that I have! (still never seen anymore!)
I said no...
he calls back again and says what about a straight swap for some genuine BBS LMS...
I said no as I didn't know what they were!
I was chatting to Renton later that day and just dropped it in to conversation....
he called me every name under the sun and that I must be a complete cunt!
I called speed art and we did the exchange! Turns out the bloke who owned the BBS was loaded and that he just hated cleaning them and didnt care about money. He just wanted the wheels I had. He actually PAID Speedart £100 for doing deal for him!
Numpty

was easily over £4k's worth of wheels and tyres.
