Mille Miglia Rims

[charlie360]

I have been offered a set of Mille Miglia 19" stainless steel split rims (Ravia II Type, for anyone who's interested) with continental tyres all in unused condition, at about a third their normal price. Now I wouldn't normally consider changing the wheels from standard but this seems like such a good deal! Should I or shouldn't I, is it still a waste of money? Can't make my mind up what do people think?

Bling! Bling!!

would they look right on a 996?

[charlie360]

It's a neighbour of mine who had a 996TT and sold it but still has the wheels and tyres - so I have seen them on a TT and they look fine but I just dunno whether they're worth having or not!! ......... Bling Bling??

[pesty]

if you like them then get them sounds like a bargain

[david hype]

If they are that cheap surely its a no-brainer!

Buy them, see if you get along with them for a few hundered miles. If they change the characteristics of the car for the worse, you can always sell them on and even possibly make a small profit!

Slang expression coined by the younger, "teenage dirt-bag" generation.

Meaning - something very expensive and showy i.e. a white gold diamond encrusted Rolex, Gold AMG SL 55's with gold grill, wheels, etc, etc.

Typically used in conjunction with Lord and Lady Beckham, J Lo, Puff Daddy, etc etc, i.e. very obvious and overstated - can also mean without taste.


WRT to the wheels I actually quite I like them (if the price was right)
