I would have said so Colin, but why

Seems somebody has already done it, but I must say probably an acquired taste thing

They look similar to a set of bolt on ( as opposed to knock on ) Dunlop wire wheels I had on my GT6.

Only problem was that you had to run inner-tubes as they did not seal properly, also they were a pain to keep clean ......

A work colleague just bought a facelift diesel connie doesnt want to join the forum or facebook. He wants to do the conversion. Personally i prefer the union wheels i already have.

I'm loving that. A nightmare to clean though.

I don't suppose someone could photoshop them onto a Royal Blue mk1 Tourer???????
