Title: Elite Wheels on my Elite (for the purists!)
Post by: HI2DVY on 08 June 2009, 13:33:46: OK. After the comments made on the fact that my Elite only had CDX wheels... can anybody tell the difference?

Elite wheels now fitted, complete with Bridgestone RE050A tyres (filled with Nitrogen - apparently)...

These are the best - later elite / mv6 are not so good as they don't look so big. MV6 5 spks run these a close second though. Would have either on my CDX!
