my local scrappy had a few sets in for 90 quid a set - with usable rubber

i thought 15's were the optimal for acceleration / handling ?

wernt they fitted to the 280 broklands crapi as std fitment ?????
hence the rarity of them
good looking wheels but shame as there is a poor selection and choice of tyres for them...
unless of coarse you are looking for a sidewall with as much movement as shamu,s belly
