I normally loath aftermarket wheels* on F's as they usually look a bit like a noddy wagon, but they're lookin top banana.

*are they classed as aftermarket :?

Steve, these wheels are actually 7"x16's and became a redundant order by MGR Scandinavia at the time of the company collapse.

Our rep in Scandinavia found them (all 90) in a warehouse in Gothenberg and members here at the Register bought the lot. They were shipped to my house where everybody collected them (all bar one set which are still here :thumbsd: ).

Hence why I said "*are they classed as aftermarket" :D I was thinking about buying a set a few months ago (saw the posts on the .org site a while ago) as my cups are egg shaped and the laquers peeling off in droves :cry:

Just couldnt bring myself to junk the Cups though.

You know with all those accesories I'd have thought you'd have gone for some shiny mesh too :D

Really nice Broon. They fill the apertures really well. I put TF wheels on my silver F and they do the same.
