Verdict on these Wheels

Right about the eighth set of wheels on my budget get the car built mission.
Hopefully I'll actually manage to buy these!

Just a double check, will these look ok?
I think they will but thought I'd get the opinion of the masses before I commit to buy.

They have a Et35 offset which I think is ok.

Its worth checking how far the 'spokes' stick out from the rim - hard to tell from the pic.
My TSWs stick out loads making them dead easy to kerb and scratch. I'd buy something different if buying again.

Look good to me for that sort of money as long as you don't have to change the tyres (speed rating dependant on top speed of car etc) in which case an extra £50 or so on the bay would get you some new rims.

BSA Racing aren't they?
I think they'll look

Had a set on my old R5 GT Turbo for a bit. Painted them black as it was a Tungy grey car, made it look proper stealthy!

Something to consider depending on your car colour.

If it every gets finished it will be grey with black front wings so black wheels would look sweet!

If you're worried about not curbing them, then don't let your missus drive (currently reaching for crash helmet!)
