Beefy, the comps are 18's, its gonna be a case of simply whichever fit best on the car will be the ones we keep, if Comps are going up for sale will be for around the Ł950 mark, not too sure on the RL7s
dont quote me on that, Lee will be the one who decides the price, but id imagine it wont be far off that mark.....
