Title: MV6 - Correct Wheels?
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 07 March 2009, 17:59:54
I'm not considering buying a local 3.0 Manual MV6 that needs a few easy jobs doing, as a toy. I'm really not.

Anyhow, back on topic. Are these the correct wheels, for a Facelift MV6?

Not really in the market, wouldn't have been interested if it meant travelling to get it.

But, it's 10 miles up the road  :-X

Think the ebay page was posted on here, maybe i did, can't remember. Could only be a cam cover gasket, rest of the car looked peachy, 3.0 manuals are worth hanging on to.
    Might even be able to knock him down a tad 'coz of the wheels. :y
