I quite like them. are they bolt on or centre lok ??

are they real halibrands or Compomotive halibrands.. If the former then they are expensive little trinkets??

Hi
have a note in file that they came from GTDevelopments in 1990.
and are bolt on. no one in jersey will refurbish them .
so thinking of selling as they seem a bit wide for a xflow car at 6.5" /205 tyre and 7."/215 tyres.
I am running 6" and 185/195 tyres on my s2 and i think that pushing it.
thanks

I like them. I've always thought that style of wheel would suit the car but have never seen them fitted before. If the spinners are decorative rather than functional then I would lose them to get a better view of the nice design. Keep 'em.

FYI
The quick Vixens which compete in Steve Cox's championship are on 205 width tyres. 888 Toyos or the sticky Kuhmos !!
My yellow Vixen which was very successful in 2001 & 2002 was on 195 Bridgestone SO2.
Cheers Ian

I like them, your car has the perfect patina and the wheels really suit it. Personnally i might try losing the spinners though and see if it works with small centre caps (assuming they are not functional ones eek) biggrin

i like them but i've got a weak for American/British combinations.
apperently the spinners are just for show, it looks ok but if it serves no purpose, its just kitch.
