Terry's old rims rims live on my malacite touring now, drives as well as it does on BBS, I do like these rims, not often seen though now, and unpopular with most zoners for some reason.

When I see the four studs it makes me sick a little in the back of my throat.. When I see the 5 studs and the proper 'Motorsport' written on them (meaning they are the forged ones) I get a little hapier inside. winkeye

The only look right on some cars , I swapped them with terry for his bbs as thought they looked crap on the sport although everyone else liked them :o:

Really need to be 5 stud to look right IMO. Also I think they don't match that well either , something very 80's with 90's shoes on

Proper ones look especially good with malachite green.... Guess it reminds me of the E36M3GT
