Default TSW Stealths

Has anyone got any pics of an ERST fitted with TSW stealths?

Cheers for any help.

I think this is the only picture I could find, the stealths look alright.

The ones without the covers on were tsw alpines. Im sure you can see the wheel nut holes on them so Id say they were the alpines but are near enough the same as stealths. Can you still get stealths new? Love them wheels!!

These are alpines, notice how the spokes dish out a lot and are very narrow and round. the ones in the pic above are a cheap wheel i think. NOT TSW Alpines

I have loads with stealths of my old rosso car (standard silver and anthracite following a refurb), but can't access photobucket from work. Will put some up later as I have some uploaded already.

They're not stealths, as said stealths have centre caps.
