GUTTED! :sad:

They just phoned me to say that they can't get the wheels I want for at least 12 weeks!

Back to the drawing board. :sad:

unlucky mate, i liked the look of those!

how much does your budget stretch to? is your car on 17" or 18" as standard?

maybe you could get a cheaper wheel and then spank it withe the lowering stick with the cash left over?  :smiley:


If you need any games consoles or games, accessories, etc etc, PM me for my best price,

Wanna stick with the 18" rims I think. The cars currently on 18" Monza's which need a bit of a refurb. I really like the Monza's but wanted to make the car more individual with some new rims. The last car I bought wheels for I skimped on the price and bought a make I had never heard of before. Within a year they were all bent and one had even cracked! This time round I want a well known, established make. As for budget I can go to 1k for rims and tires but the more I save on them the more I'll have for the other bits.

Going in a week on Sat for the REVO stage 1 too! :wink:

Has anyone heard of a company called 'MAM' or has anyone had experience with them? Not a manufacturer I'm familiar with I want to know if they are any good?

i've had 2 sets of MAM rims, very good rep, very well made. in fact i still have a set of MAM porsche turbo twist replicas in the shed  :laugh:

and i was seconds away from ordering the nuvo 7's for mine a few weeks back, with the black face they are LUSH.....

but.. i think i'm right in saying you'll be waiting about 6 weeks for a set
