it hasnt been run for 7 years, the previous owner had them fitted because at the time they were the biggest calipers available and they werent enough, same reason for the 3 spokes, they were the only wheels that would fit over the brakes

they look awful, really dont do it, you might get 1 person out of 20 that likes them, the rest will think your a homo, which i think they will probably be not too far off the mark.
