Thought about a Rouse rear spoiler? Think it would suit it!

Always dreamt of doing a white Saff with BBS centre locks in gold, with a Rouse spoiler!

Not a fan Jim....sorry mate.

I know it took a long time for me to like the previous wheels but I think they suited the car better. From those pics the tyres look too skinny and sit in the arch too much.

Awesome wheel never the less the awesome car mate.

Cheers boys! Sticky you shouldn't mate I like getting people's opinions good or bad on things! I work outside the box, and try to be one off, sometimes works sometimes not, everybody can't like the same thing other wise we would all be very bloody bored at the shows

But for me the fact that I am the only one running these wheels on a saff (bar the touring cars which aren't around) I'm absolutely buzzing, the car deserves something to set it apart IMO

Don't think they look like right, think it's how far the thread sticks out past the nut.

I like the wheels (I'd prefer them in silver but thats just me) but after seeing the latest pics i think the thread sticks out way to far past the end of the nut, they remind me of the chariot race in Ben-Hur! ( ) Other than that they are great Jim, one of my fav saphs ever!

Still think they need to go silver.. Think the car would need full touring car livery to pull them off in white

I'm fed up of plain max, it's 550bhp rwd and I intend to kick it in on track, think silver on white wouldn't catch your eye like the white does.
I think I just have a vision of it side ways at Donnington and whiteon white screams track to me!
Also have a set of dymags going gold..

I loved the old wheels and suited the car and it's look, but centre locks really make the car special.

I think the mudflaps need ditching Jim, because of how they sit out off the arches they make the offset look more tucked in if that makes sense? Like my Mak tbh, I have too much flap

Some would say you can't have enough flap

No dymag sticker on the spoke these didn't have them and I don't want to make them look so in even with one sticker, nice on four studs but I like how clean and smooth all the lines are of the centre locks and don't want to ruin it. Does that make any sense

Have thought alot about blue nuts but going to polish them as ere will be too much blue as the bells are easily seen in sun light.

Staffi know what you mean but I love the flaps

Cheers Ron, I can't wait myself mate

COurse it will pete I love getting everyone's opinion but like you say it's my car and I wouldn't change it for anybody.

When I look at it and it puts a massive grin on my face I know it's working, the cromodoras I loved but didn't give me that smile every time ...
