So I've ordered some wheels for the car today, they're due in stock in April and I can't wait. I know they won't be to everyone's taste but who wants to conform?

They will be 16x8 fronts, 16x9 rears.

Here's a photoshop on my car, although it sits quite a bit lower now...

You can't yet ;) Stanced UK are taking pre-orders for when they're out in April, I've put a deposit on a set.

They're £515 delivered, bare wheels, no tyres, valves etc

Pretty cheap tbh.

Can't say I'm keen tbh, but each to their own. Plus they may look better in real life.

They look like Azev A's that have taken a hefty whack to the centre!

Completely different to Azev's to be honest chief, they're styled on Ferarri F40 wheels

Other than having 5 spokes, no there isn't, may as well compare them to Amir Khan RSR's

The 3sdm's don't have a lip, are concave, and the spokes are machined out. The Azev's have lip/dish, flat not concaved, and are normal spokes

Definitely a step up.

It was going to be BBS reps up until I found out the were coming out in 4 stud 16's.

One things for sure, there will be less E30's on these than there will be Azev's, BK's, BBS's genuine or rep, Borbets, due to the fact that you can't even buy them yet, or in some of your opinions, because they're shit :)

If rarity and expressing your individuality is your thing, you should get some three spokes. I guarantee you will not find anyone else with them till you get to the Polish boarder ! :)
