These will do the job instead!

Strangely enough, a pair of those may be on the distant horizon but i'll need to do a couple of overtime trips first. In the meantime i'll just get mine painted.

Not that far away, if you drop off a sample he will mix up a perfect match.

Thanks for that but i've got Marios's man onto it. I've seen his work and he is pretty darn good.

Good work, mate (and amazingly quick!). I think they look fantastic. I'm very much an advocate of standard wheels for Masers but those look spot on. Glad to be of help, you got a serious bargain I reckon!

They look great Benny.

Although I feel the need to stand up for the original 3200/4200 wheels. I really do like them, they look classy and think they suit the lines of the 4200 very well.

I think brakes that glowed red would suit your car quite well Benny...match the exahust mate!

I have to say I don't normally like "after-market" wheels, as they tend to look pimped, but those do look good and sorta reminiscent of the wheels on the new QP, which give them a look of legitimacy.

Not sure you could pass for Clooney though Benny!

I always thought the originals look a bit too 'fussy' with all those spokes. IMO, the 7 spokes cleaned up the lines quite a bit but look a tadge dated now. Personal preference is a wonderful thing; it ensures we don't all buy the same thing!

It's more of a problem for him not being able to pass for me!

 

[Emtee]

Yea, and he can't fly a plane. What a loser.

 

[BennyD]

He doesn't need to, what a winner!

Mike, have your got your wheels fitted yet?

 

[Andyk]

Yes, come on Mike can not wait to see them on your car.

 

[mjheathcote]

No, not yet!
Might have time next week I'm going on a boys trip to my friends chalet in the Alps today for a few days mountain biking (that's the theory...)
I've also received now my FD sports springs that need fitting.
Together they should look very good, black wheels with red calipers and red springs behind!

Bloody **** - Ian, how did you get tickets for the Venice film festival? Hope you had a good one.

Those FD wheels look incredible. Really complement the car and the colour. Good work, I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Love those wheels, look good Ian.
