Found some original wheels at last
« on: 23 May 2010, 21:45:47 »
Hi Everyone

I have been looking for some original wheels for a while now for my 3.2 MV6, I must say i prefer them to the ones that the previous owner put on.

Thought I would share a few pictures.

17" with 235/45 tyres. In the flesh they do look bigger than the originals I think it is because of the long spokes that go right to the centre.

It looks a lot better with the proper wheels fitted. I'm not  fan of a lot of aftermarket alloys, most are to open for me. ;)



hence my 17" facelift Elite rims instead of earlier 16" Elite rims.  :y
