They are more of a copy of the old Grp A speedline rather than a Comp

I might have to sell my Genuine Grp A old Style Comps if every fucker starts buying these!

I have spent the last 2 months deciding what wheel to get for the 3dr.

I ordered mine from revolution 2 weeks ago, they arrived on wednesday

I got 7.5 x 17 et 35 for the fronts and 8x17 et33 for the rears. All with grpA inserts and nuts.

Wheels only come in white, so are off to the powder coaters next week

Thought I would try something different, then these appear on E-Bay

Wheels look good in the flesh

Sunlight makes the rear look a bit odd, but you get the idea.

Because the sun is bouncing of the rear of your car, you can see it in your original pic.
