Huh!? I do like Comps! I'm just not keen on the new style with the dish and the diamond cut lip isn't for me, not MY personal preference.

I've got old style 6 spokes on my Saph for fucks sake!

The new style 6 spoke in 8j for me is a lovely wheel!

Jeez, don't take it personally, fucking chill out man!

Depends what car the wheel is fitted to.. i.e. a 4x4 Sapphire would have problems with brakes over 330mm but a 2wd Sapphire (same offset) would be better off.

They look less motorsport like that, which I guess is ok on an estate car, not really a fan thought personally.

Cool wagon though

Is that the V8 ?

What do you think of those cars, i know they are slow compared to an M5, but they are tons cheaper, less to insure, sound gorgeous and use less fuel...

is that one tuned and if so whats done to it ?

cheers

They look shit IMO, I know most comps are boring but this just makes them look cheap and chavy, a shame as they are real good quality wheels.

Yes it's a 4.6 V8 but I have not done anything with the engine yet though. I am very pleased with it. As you said they are not barmy fast but with only 260hp and weighing 1800kg they have no right to be.

If an M5 uses more fuel then god help M5 owners!!

Future plans are 400hp either by supercharging it or by fitting a 6.0 LS2 engine.
