th fl elite wheels are only found on the elites, the mv6 ones are a smillar design but the spokes are shaped differently at the rims, as for availability, they do crop up on egay and here occasionally but are usually grabbed pretty quick.

I know of a decent seller on the bay that Ive saved as one of my sellers  if that would help you out with this search for wheels. not sure if I can post it as a link tho as I dont want to break the rules

you'd just be posting a link as you would for an interesting car / etc No rules would be broken if the link doesn't go to something you have a vested interest in.  :y

Sorry cant do the link thing but have a look for omegaspares based near heathrow. He may not have them listed as its more cost effective if people phone him as he doesnt have to pay ebay anything then.

My! This is an EDUCAYSHUN!!

The MV6 alloys are slightly ridged at the rims, aren't they? I have noticed the difference, but didn't realise that the difference was model-specific... :)

No Probs, there was a chap who was breaking a t reg elite but those wheels  ( if he still has them/car of course)  would be too old wouldnt they  :-?

ET39 refers to the offset not the wheel design  ;)

You know, I was REALLY looking forward to the much vaunted Bose sound experience, I took a couple of CD's with me for the 50-mile journey home.

As it was though, it was such a total grin flooring it on the A34 on the way back, listening to that gorgeous V6 (ever-so-slightly louder than it should be, admittedly ;D), not sure I'd have kept the stereo on for long!

Such a brilliant, comfortable, tooled-up, underrated car....glad there's a site like this for people who love 'em.... :)
