	Mike just did a photoshop for me.... The alloys are £250 per corner, which is rich for my blood, however, I do like the look, because it is pretty much "Non Scene"

	~~I'd stick with what you've got already.~~ Do both! You've got one awesome set of wheels now so could save up for another lol. What sizes can you get the Halibrand reps in? I reckon 15x6 on the front and 15x8 on the back would look perfect. Matt

Nicola has asked me a few times. One must keep the fronts quite narrow on these buses, as their potential Achilles heel is the steering box, so less resistance is a good thing, so maybe stick to 5.5 front, but wider at the rear. I do love the wheels I have for the bus too, and cannot wait for it to roll on them. 1k is a lot though, but hey... who knows ?

	I'd stick with the wheels you've got for now then. Can always fit the halibrand reps in a couple of years to freshen it up if you get bored with the look. Matt

	Spend the 1K - or the equivalent in time - getting the bus on the road first. Then play with different wheels
	Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable.

	I could never imagine splurging a bag o' sand on wheels. They are incredibly nice (I was drooling over these yesterday!) however... one thousand English pounds...

	they are a cool set of rims and rims do make or break a car so would be well worth the money, but as has been suggested roll with the ones you have and get those at a later date

	I'd keep the ones you've got and wait for some crazy deal you can't turn down later on.... £1k is a lot of money for wheels, heck it's a lot of money for a car! Definately roofchop the towcar though

	Thanks guys, I would agree. Even the money I spent on the wheels I have, sat inside my house (people think I am mad) was a lot, considdering one rides on them, but then I have never spent money like that, planned it, and the bus is pretty unique, and when I get back to it, and it gets on the road it will be well worth it. Thanks for the input.

	I love those wheels. Gives such a great hot rod look. You should deff do it if you can afford it imo.

	I'm not sure about them they look a bit jagged for such a smooth shaped vehicle and they are not pretty enough to be a feature i don't think.
	Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

	FWIW, whilst I think they look good, I don't think they look THAAAAAAAAT good, or that much better to warrant such a cost!
