They were for concours only for this year and to be as nice as they are keeping them mint is a hard task and I don't want to damage them when going for a blast but if I really want I could all ways get some more as I have kept all the details on them for fitment as they were a one off

Doesnt look like these going to fit over the 378 discs if used with the red calippers. Rims look great on the car Duncan.
