New Wheels Get Ready For Use

Post by ClaytonSpeed » Mon May 26, 2008 9:27 pm

Can you guess what they are from?

They should look good - I have seen these on Itals before, they fatten them up nice. The later Clubman Maestros used these rims to, as did the vans although the vans have the larger PCD the same as the 575 Marina.

TBH I don't know about the spacers - looking at them I would guess they may need a spacer and perhaps extended studs, although I didn't look that close (or maybe I forgot - its a while back and more than a few beers have dissolved the majority of my grey matter).
