Bought these..........

[dickymint]

Yet again i was outbid on a Speed Eight brochure £15.01
So I bought these for £21.....are they any good? would they be vented? if so I can get them drilled and vented for free

If they are no good they could end up as a prize for BBWF 2005

There are some other discs on there, which are supposedly for the same vehicle list, and they are vented.

I noticed quite a lot of 'new old stock' 350i stuff on ebay this evening.

Ha Ha Ha I gotta laugh I was looking at those as well!! - It's a small world.

We are all tucked up in our little homes all eagerly bidding on the same Wedge bits.

Hate to be a damp squib... they do not fit the 350i! You've just bought a set of discs that fit Scorpio style Grannies. Just checked the disc dimensions and they are not the same.

The wedges use the Granny mk 2 not the Scorpio granny discs which slide over the front of the hub Sierra style and do not bolt onto the backl which is what you want.

Rule 345.8 if someone says it is for a TVR then check and double check that it is. There is so much duff info out there it isn't true. For example, I had one wheel nut supplier claim that Wedges had four stud fittings and that the Cerbera nuts are the same as Griff ones. They are not but he didn't change the ad. and somebody ended up with the wrong stuff.
