Sweet mother of fk no!

[Doc Toad]

don't see how that would be a problem on a Chim, although a wooden steering wheel would then be mandatory.

Chrome badge bar and RAC member plaque optional (the buggers don't salute these days anyway)

Whilst at it, get a tonneau cover and a boot-rack..............

... and a Tweed driving suit and leather gauntlets.

TBH I could just see this on a Chimp top call....

They can be got but are pricey around 2500 as you will need 5 and the appropriate hub adapters and spinners. They would look good in my opinion with the right spinners.

Not wire but these look to be selling well.. Lenso Bsx

Very tempted myself although I hear they have no 16" in stock and can't give a date.

Reckon some Borrani's would look pretty cool

Ive got these on my transporter T5 look very nice when new 19"
After about 3 months the lacquer started lifting and the alloy corroding underneath.
Sent them back under the guarantee and got them replaced 3 months later same thing happened again only this time the company as in the link didn't want to know.
Keep well clear of them and the wheels.

That's interesting feedback bababoom

Thank you for your opinion There are a couple of guys local to me that have recently put them on their Griffs... I'll have to keep my eyes and ears open on their verdict,and maybe start looking at something else.

Hi.
I've been thinking of some LENSO wheels too. As Jason said, there appears to be no ET25 wheels in silver available at the moment, although other colours and offsets are.
Interesting comment about the lacquer lifting. Ace Of Hearts has had a set of these wheels on his car for a few years and I believe they are still ok? Whatever, they do look lovely!
Regards Chris.
