Why don't you get the same wheels as Revolver! That way when he complains you can say - mine are not the same as yours.. Look no scratches....

Looks like something off a chariot! I reckon they would kill someone. Seriously not my cup of tea!

Just been watching Iron Chef....those wheels remind me of serious cutlery!!

I agree it looks like you could cut your hands just washing them!

But hey if you like them get them. I like the standard wheels myself. But then I am poor post kitchen installation!

I actually don't mind the pictured wheels. A bit of style over substance but they look pretty cool. Is it much of a weight penalty (bearing in mind that you still want to track the car, right)?

What do the other wheels look like. Pics?

Very droll Adrian!

Actually, I've still only got the one scratch. I keep planning to get it fixed but the logistics of getting it to the bloke to do it during the week keeps stopping me.

About 11kg's over the 18x8 RO3's. So 5-6 over stock?? (ie for 4 not each!!)

I don't think wheel weight is going to be my biggest weight challenge! (Just being realistic)

C'mon Mikey!

Surely you remember that old formula about unsprung weight being x times more costly than sprung weight?
