wasn't a digg mate, just saying there nice - too nice for winter wheels .

Different seasons, different rims :
19" summer wheels sw.JPG...and 18" winter wheels ww.JPG

I like them - but I also think that they are an aquired taste. I bought a 159 with a set on and at first I wasn't quite sure. Now I really like them.

Yeah, I love them personally. They just seem a little bit more sophisticated to my eyes.

An Aston Martin DB5 would look just great in them - where-as the horse shoe style would look ridiculous.

Same goes for the colour too to me. Silver just seems - I dunno. A little more elegant. I never intended to go with silver, and never dreamed I would, but **** am I glad I did now.

I'm totally besotted.

Wouldn't disagree with any of that. Just a bit of a pig to clean

I picked up my 18" horseshoes with tyres (5-6mm tread) freshly powdercoated for £350.

Admitadly the guy said when I went to pick them up that I had "Raped him" !!!!!!

Blimey! Anything for a discount!

[uczmeg]

These are now mine (19" prodrive version of the 8C alloy) subject to a long drive to collect them...

Anyone in the East Midlands area interested in a set of 18" horseshoes should drop me a PM.

These aren't the ones that where on ebay were they? Pickup from Norwich. Darker colour than standard?

Nice alloys uczmeg and congrats.

I was going to buy these exact wheels but decided against it.

Would love to see how they look on your Brera.

Look forward to the pics.

Thanks. Will probably be a couple of weeks before I can pick them up, but pics will come.

I would have gone for silver, but couldn't get anywhere near the same deal! I think it will work with my darkish grey. Think I'm going to have to paint my callipers red at some point now...

the 159 LE alloys

[Gibi]

S alloys for me (which makes sense as I have an S LOL) But I do think they are awsome lookin wheels,

[Oggy_GTA]

Anyone seen/got a Spider with the Brera S wheels? I bet a white one would look pretty cool too.

[wynne71]

Whoooohoooooo!
Just done a deal with uczmeg and I will be having a set of 18 inch Horseshoe alloys! Get in.
Unfortunately I will have to wait a few weeks until he has the new S wheels fitted.

Can't wait to get these on my 159!
