welshpug 1,627 Posted November 18, 2009 if they're the same ones that he bought from AdamB, James's ones were 15", by 8" wide I think, Adam's comment earlier today was they they weighed a ton, especially compared to the MAG 7x15" speedlines that replaced them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars Posted November 18, 2009 i have a pair of 6x13s (multihole)in white that could be for sale if you're interested? polleysport is the main supplier in the uk i believe, check out theyre website. gonna need spacers probably tho as the offsets they offer tend to be either too small or too large Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
