starting to really like the look of these, how wide are the renny 5 rims and, i have a feeling that 13's .... with -60mm springs... may scrape the floor? lol

hmmm, would look minty!

£50 sounds good for both 11 and 5 turbo wheels.It's tyers that cost the money as they are an odd size for the 5 turbo wheel.I will find out what sze they are for you.back in a mo :D

ahhh cool, not the widest wheel in the world then... lol

PM'd you willy-Jr

got a choice of willy wheels in anthracite, turbines in anthy, or R5GT wheels in anthy!! so hard to choose, just have a feeling the R5's will be so much more fun!
