I thought the graphite and gold Ultraleggras were only for Subaru fitment.

They do look very very nice.

they are defineately available in mini fitment:

they look fantastic in my opinion, a great compramise between silver and black, very racey

i am taking a trip to my nearest top gear soon, but i may ring up first and ask

I like the idea, but in that pic they look too light IMO. Aren't they 17" in the pic rather than 16"?

nope, 16inch, i have spoke to the owner, they came in graphite, colours do often vary from manufactures pictures slightly, i may be buying them from him, although he is in USA, anybody know approx prices for shipping? and i am guessing import fees will apply also?

You could just get a set in silver and get them re painted.

You could go for a second hand set and get them refurbed, might save some cash.

Shipping of my S Spokes within the UK was over £50 (with tyres admittedly) so I'd say prohibitively expensive to ship from the US.
