They're either 5x112 (or thereabouts) or 5x130, so no good. Had those impure thoughts too BC!!  Yeah - I think I'll just keep looking for some cheap BMW steels (x 2 sets) and then get them banded or reverse rimed |

Can't have. No space for a project, Imp not finished, no cash. Would probably be an easy project and good daily driver if I could, well, if I could resist the urge to find a spare 960 engine and gearbox and some turbos and make a sleeper out of it. Some day. ;D

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

Probably go for a few quick but they're lovely  These + saab + stick = pretty damn good I reckon. *adds to watch list* Anyone reckon they're of fancy namby-pamby non roadworthy material? |
