Hi all.

Just out of curiosity really as the R109's are about £1800 with tyres, and there is just no way I can afford or justify that! (Luckily my polished R99's were on the car courtesy of the original owner, and I think they cost her in the region of £1450 with tyres)

But if by some miracle I was to win the lottery, would they go onto the 1st gen cars? Mine is a 2006, which I think has a slightly different offset to the earlier cars? Could be wrong though!

They are a lovely looking wheel though...

Regards,

James.

Any OEM wheel that fits the R56 will fit the R50/R52/R53.
