No one else in the country apart from a black Megane Renaultsport has the same rims as me msn-wink.gif There is only one distributor in the UK for Giovanna and mine were only the second set he sold. They also look good in silver! biggrin.gif

I think the Ebay rims look good - with the thin spokes the wheels will look much bigger than they actually are cool.gif

thats a very good point gord, wheels do look really different on different coloured IS's, defo something to consider marcus.
marcus

I dont know what ones to go for.................have to see what cash i have by mid-week wink.gif

Thanks anyway guys for your input........... driving.gif
Mr Singh
those 5 spokes are nice!

At £450 thats a bargain!!!! about half the price of ONE of my wheels cry.gif
Adie
Ebay ones are a bargain and look great.

Also love Mike's wheels, so them in silver would look wicked on your car mate.

The Giovanna's go for almost £1,500 inc tyres VAT fitting so I reckon the Ebay wheels are a bargain!

Ahmet can put new Title at the top please mate................."My New wheels"

They're nice alloys mate, remind me of the Advan Model 5's a bit - you've got a serious bargain there though - I recently had mine rebooted at a cost of £500 just for the tyres - you've got alloys as well for an extra tonne - bargain!!

mad.gif i picked my wheels up last week all was ok with the wheel................but when i went to fit them the nuts would not do up on all the studs....so i take the wheel of the car to have a look to see what was up, i look to see what the PCD is on the back of the wheel and it says 112 & not 114 like the guy had put on the Ebay listing censored.gif mad.gif what a c censored.gif t


I did not look to see what the PCD was when i picked them up.......... wink.gif as the ebay listing said the wheels fit all jap cars with 114 wink.gif


I take it there is not much i can do to make them fit!! or is there!!

if not i will stick them back on Ebay, but i will keep the Tyres sleepy.gif as they are P-O,s
