Have had similar thoughts as they look the 'dangle berries' in graphite, but the offset is far too high, at that wheel width you're looking for 30-35, and if you buy them with tyres, the tyres are the wrong size too... Need to be 235/40/18 or 245/40/18 :y

I have a set of Omega MFL MV6 Irmschers 17" alloys and tyres that look simular to them.  :-\

Then they would need to be ET33, with 235/45/17s :y they would also look a bit gay that small ::)

The wheels Zirk mentions, if the ones I think they are, look really smart :y

Yes the very same, Professionaly refurbed with as new tyres, was saving them for my Red Ex DPG Police project Omega, as for me red body is one of the few colours that dark alloys look good on.

No pics at the moment, Al might have some though. ;)

Yep, first off, thanks for posting the pic Al, did have a quick search for them, but probably got deleted when you threw the switch on your profile a few months back.  :y :y

Yes, they could be, there in the same condition as when I got them, as in, never been used, as said was saving them for the Plod Project, but could be persuaded, needs must and all that.  ;)

I'll send you a PM when I get back on the lappy later, if your interested.  :y
