Brilliant wheels!

Always loved Stern.

What size and offsets are these?

No 100% sure, possibly 16x8/8.5 and 35, the guy wasnt 100% sure but they came off an MR2.

Won't be fitting them for a while, I wanted to get a set of 16s so when the tyres on my 15s wear out I can have my choice of sports tyre instead of T1R, T1R or.... T1R :lol:

Will need to find some centre caps for them too, 3 out of 4 have porsche centres.

:clap:

Ha Ha i was bidding on those also but stopped at 225
Still a good buy at the price you paid tho, but i don't have that much spare cash at the mo. Shame coz i think they would have looked great on my yellow rev1
Got another couple of sets i'm watching tho, might get a bargain.

Looking to buy?

I have a few eBay saved searches setup for wheels, I'm a total wheel whore :lol:

Someone got a bargain last week on some enkei split rims from Poland, 4x 17x8 for £240+40 postage!

Good price, but they're in awful condition. I'm guessing they're 17s, the spokes look a little thinner than mine :)

Cleaned up with some decent pictures they'd probably fetch a fair bit more than his £300 asking price :thumleft:

One got bent when I had my accident in 2010 :(

I've wanted another set of splitties ever since, arriving tomorrow \:D/

Probably wont fit em for a good few months, plenty of life left in the tyres on my 15s :)

I was toying with the idea of buying rosscos sterns for months and months and when I finally decided to buy them back they were sold :( lol. Hardest choice was would the colour suit my red one and could I own the same set of wheels twice.



Glad to see some decent priced wheels about still, I just haven't clicked with these toms or whatever they are.
