Default Marlboro-Carlos Sainz-Tour de Corse 1987

Well finally ready today, after a very busy week, satisfied!
Cheers

The car screams for a set of Compomotive FR 7x16" wheels in white for finishing touch.
Does anyone have these available?? (I've a set now! nov 21st-'12)

I'm figuring all week now...problem is, i do not want to change arches....
genuine rs200 rims maybe not possible.

Comp's (5 spoke) are an option as well as Braid (Winrace A) 7x16" ET35.

Also Comp's 5 spoke 8x15", ET32, are an option because I like the choice of tires. But I am not sure they fit the standard calipers.

Still figuring.....

That was what I thought.. Your arches look so factory fresh!
Here is a picture off my car with RS200 wheels (look at the front)

The whole lot is just €1900...
Everything is tailor made.

The red/orange wrap is the most expensive part, the logo stickers are easy...

do you use inserts for the nuts or do you have group A stuts on the hubs?
