I have a set I'm willing to sell. Presentable but not perfect. Decent tyres. Looking for £300. PM me if interested.

If @Brian H wheels are not what you're looking for (look amazing in shadow chrome in my opinion) then I have a set of style 42 split rims that I'll be selling very soon...similar in style to the 78s but in 2 pieces.

If you want mint then getting a set refurbed in OEM silver is a good bet, they all tend to sufffer from a bit of laquer peel by now so hard to find mint.
Mine came out better than new when I had them done.

Thank you for the offer but I'm really not a fan of split rims wheels. I think they're quite marmite :thumbsup:

Here's a suggestion.
If you really can't find a set would it not possibly be an idea to purchase Brian's alloys put tyres on them just now and then change the colour to silver in the future :)

I have a set with 2 month old Bridgestone and refurbed in dark anthracite. I would let them go for around £600.
