They do look similar. I guess I hate looking at my alloys, hence why I didn't notice the difference!!

Anyway, "roll on" the new BBS's this week or next week hopefully!

You're very welcome. I've been trying to get a set of Telesto for my '98 S40. Very classy wheel in my opinion

I think the Cronus have like a dip/piece cut out of the spokes, just where they meet the rim, whereas the Telesto are complete.

Nope sorry ... I only bought 4 as runners..... Once my craters are sorted the telesto's will either be off to another good home via here , or trackday runners , either way the telestos will be on my motor for at least the next couple of months.... Low funds and all that lol
