Thanks David. One of the reasons for them is because they are different. A big thanks goes to Jon Norris, for a lot of advice on wheels that made me feel easy about getting a set like this.

They are 17" Eta Beta. Will be using the MS hub adapters as they are 4x100. They will be going on with APs on the front and hopefully a big brake kit on the rear aswell. I think they will be awesome looking!

No ebay special, baught them directly from Eta Beta. Haven't got a clue what tyres yet, thinking maybe getting Pirellis. Any recommedations greatly appriciated. Oh here's one for you Kam...came home the other day in our Zafira and the Mrs notices that the exhaust was looking rather rusty and tatty. Guess what she suggested getting? As we say in Virginia, a day late and a dollar short!

Finally managed to get these on the car. Only thing letting them down are the nuts, whcih I'm sure will be sorted soon(any advice/recs on this would be good). Anyway, we put on an AP front brake upgrade with new ss brake hoses and bigger discs. Rear is the same for now - waiting for the rear upgrades to be sorted! I think it makes the car stand out, and am really pleased!

I hope to David, once the kit gets released! Thing is tho, the rear screams for bigger discs aswell!
