They have to be the sexiest wheels I have ever seen. But would you spend that type of money??

Year Turbo. They gave me a massive discount, I'm talking Ԛ£1k discount on my last set of wheels, so i have no problems with helping back winkeye

These wheels are not that expensive really. I remember a friend sent me some pictures from the States of some new mad wheels and they were dimond incrusted. The price tag was Ԛ£150k a wheel. Yes i said Ԛ£150k a wheel, so that a cool Ԛ£600k for a set :D Even funny still, they'd actually sold a handful. Hmm i wonder where the buyers park their cars winkeye

I think they probably have 24hour security guards for them :mad: :D

How on earth did you get a grand's worth of discount?!

My last set from them cost Ԛ£1850 and I've fallen in love with these:

which I've priced up at Ԛ£1707 including tyres, 17x7 for the front and 17x9 for the back :)

these wheels are the dogs. i was searching high and low for these, but just can not afford that or justify spending that much.

the advert says slough, but thats a woking/Guildford code no. might give the guy a ring, might even know the seller.
