Default Back on the road for now - more wheels

Sold my 18's at the weekend as i was bored with them and to be honest hated the tramlining on the road and the bumpy ride with the elastic band low profiles Was going to break the car-up but am in no hurry and didn't like not being able to drive it. So i scoured Ebay last night and in the early hours of this morning 3:40am to be precise bought myself some 'much cheapness' BBS single piece 16's Went and got them from London 1st thing and they don't look too shabby Could do with a bit of a re-furb but not too bad and fine for the track! Car feels much better on the road even with the poxy 205's (soon to be 225's) no tramlining at all! I know the 18's looked better but for what i intend to do these fit the bill perfectly and i got the fronts over the 330's

Quick pic for the nosey ones amongst you

They are only better if you need a split rim matey but personaly i don't give a fook if i don't have a load of nuts and bolts going rusty and making the wheels even harder to clean Also the non split-rim BBS's in Ford fitment i think you will find are rarer
Also i reckon they cost me about the same as half of one of your rims Stretchy my welsh elongated friend
