they are the ORIGINAL compomotive TH rims. They originally came from URBAN RACING'S GREEN ORION. I thenhad them diamond cut with the inserts painted black.The oz version that is very similar has slight different curves and the spoke bits are thicker and dont cut it like these imo................

Apparently not. ive tried everywhere (Including reyland) as i wanted the same wheels but in 17"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think they only make them in 13 & 14" now Thats why i will probably never part with them,unless a set of 17" compomotive split rims turn up for sale( Similar to the ones on your red 3 door pic........
IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A SET OF MY COMPO'S IN 17's ARE,EVEN IF THE PERSON HAS'NT MEANTIONED SELLING THEM,PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!
CHEERS

oh, i think ive seen a set on JC motorsports orange/gold ish coloured saff??? could be wrong

as to the coment on spec,its/was nothing special.its stripped down now ready for a respray(Black OR MAYBE A DARK METALLIC RED sort of live magenta), panneled out rear and some VERY smart little touches (Tastefull touches). Ive finally been paid out for my old frst that got written off so that money including some money that i have saved comes to around £4250!!!!!!! AND im plannig on spending THE LOT on my car!!!!!
Thats without the leather/half cage & exhaust ive got on the car to sell yet and recycle the money back into the car as well.
CANT WAIT!!!!

im also going for a side exit exhaust (to be different),Maybe a carbon fibre Copy of the original spoiler(or a cheaper option of NO spoiler) and some other little mods...................
No need to worry about the turbo as ive aquried a brand new 4x4 cossie t3 with 360 bearings, and all the gubbins for a very very very good price!!!!!!!! Apparrently good enough for 340 bhp

And ive also got hi-spec monster 4 pots with 325x32 mm discs.(MADE A LITTLE BIT OF DIFFERENCE!!!!!lol lol) oh and ive also got coilovers...............this is without dippin into the funds bucket.
She should be quite modded soon.
