Default 18"magnisium center locking wheels

I dunno what to do

i've been offered them they came of a touring car proffesionally made to fit esc cos - they sound the bollocks they are like super t's but center fixing. light as fook too.

just dunno if i like the idea of 1 nut holding each wheel on. and them being magnisium summit about x-raying them

what should i do?? i'm looking for 18's and i've got and esc and had a few in mind but these are quite special?

cheers

Daniel

What you should do? THAT'S easy.. send them to me..
now remember. that is the first thing you have to do monday.. i'll give you my adress later...

But if you, of some or another silly reason, don't want to do that... buy them and fit them to your car.. OR.. if you get them for a reasonable price but still don't want to fit them. buy them and sell them with a small (and i mean small profit)

Rims like that are truly

seeing as the socket is about £50-60 on its own

and you need a 1/2 inch drive bar, about 1 metre long, not the sort of thing pikey's carry around in the back pocket
