My cossie on its winter wheels
I bought a set of shark tooths off ebay a few months back.They had just been powdered coated.I got them for 125 quid.The center caps are different from the standard ones but i think they look ok.
I just got a set of cheap tyres of a friend.
Found the front wheels weights catching the front caliper.Bastard lol.I just took them off and will get them rebalanced later.

The frs wheels are beautifull on you're car Glenn, but good idea for saving them from winter with the late 4x4 wheels.
