        I notice your using the widow maker there...

        If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                  Nice wheels, big fan of Compmotives.

                  These remind me of the Speedlines on Ferrari 288 GTO & F40.

                    I know of a few 328's, 308 which had larger wheels fitted with these in the 80's and I wanted a change from the normal bbs's, having said that I'm also putting a of 16" rs for the same car.

                    Thanks for the comment, when the wheels have come back from powdercoating and car has been lowered etc I'll repost with new photo

                      Will start carbon detailing once edition38 show is over and have actually driven the bloo@y thing instread of changing bits on it
