Dinger, might I suggest you use this pic for a sample of the wheel as the one you have posted in post #1 is the two-piece OEM R90 alloy. And there are plenty of pics in my gallery if you want to see more.



For the record, my wheels are going along nicely and have done almost 4000kms now, including the kangaroo incident. I would certainly recommend them to anyone thinking of buying them.

A couple of other "trainspotter" notes. The paint used on the replicas is slightly lighter than the OEM two-piece wheels. And becasue the replica is a one-piece wheel the actual edge of the rim is slightly narrower so that when viewing the wheel in elevation (like in the image above) the spokes seem a fraction longer causing an optical illusion that makes the replica wheel look a fraction larger than the two-piece OEM wheel.

Good luck with the GB all.



Cheers Liam
