In answer to your question Gas Man they are Envy MKII or BK993 wheels Wet silver with chrome rims.

I'm sure Fluffsri will back me up when I say that the pictures do not do them justice.

I cant see the 2 curved black lines which cross over and lead to each of the back tyres!
Or perhaps that car park is too small for a powerslide entry?

Sorry wormus, my bad!

msm... where would I be able to get hold of a set, and how much??

Correct, that be IBM.. Impulse Blue Metallic. Supposed to be the rarest colour, so I was a bit shocked to see an identical one to mine at my local Supermarket a couple of months back.

Anyway Welcome to the IBM club.

I see it's also got red calipers, have they been changed or just painted?

Mine is Imperial Blue Metallic too.

I'll stick a photo up after I pick it up (Hopefully tuesday, crosses fingers).

Sorry no powerslide into the car park taking easy untill i get used to it. FWD for the last 17 years so i need to learn how to drive again. Glad Mark is ansering all the hard questions Ive been out playing. Quick question, if the traction control cuts in does it stop the throttle pedal going down??

[Yorkkie]

yep thats what it does

They look great, but looking at the price, if I've read it correctly, that £1250 complete with a set of tyres. Anyone with experience of these tyres, and any thoughts on if its worth buying wheels/tyres as winter wheels to keep the originals uncorroded?

Cheers for that. In that case i need to take it easier

IMO the SD TC should be left off to avoid a nasty accident when it cuts AFTER you have it under control, as its so slow to respond.
