Gatos is the resident car breaker.

All I would remove from that Porker would be that ridiculous rear spoiler from Halfords!

Photo is deceptive, as the ground looks like it runs off to the left, but you have chocks on the right hand side of the wheels.

Silver would be the best colour for these, IMHO.

I prefer the Arcadias though.

Gary
That's because they aren't fitted to the car. The centre bores need machining out so they wouldn't fit on the hubs. Pcd is correct though.

I like the arcadias, but I've had them a couple of years, everyone has arcadias and I fancy a change.

Plus I picked up the Compomotive Mos for half the price of a set of arcadias and once refurbished they will be be worth twice the price of arcadias weather I use them or not.

Still time to decide. White is the only colour for Compomotives though. Don't see the point in paying 200 for a refurb to go for a dull colour like everyone else. That's boring.

Red trim on my car? Horrific.
