Indeed Hugh, the rare 480 GT Vesa 15" rims. I always thought they'd suit a 300 quite nicely.

Cheers James, I think they make it look a lot beefier and fill the arches well. Black or white cars tend to look good on most things.

LOL, I don't shout about much! Kept them and the car under my hat for a fair while tbh! Chris, I've seen the chrome arch trims, these are black plastic, which I've not seen before. Anyone come across them before, as ideally one could do with being replaced, and I've no idea where to start looking!

Mick, I'd have shown you them if they were here! The white car wasn't even here at that time. It's always been my intention to get a set of those alloys. Anyway, you'll have to come over sometime and have a look and see the Variomatic. Talking of alloys, what are your plans now. Shame the BMW ones didn't fit.

TBH Mick there are loads of 400 styles, and I'd doubt you'll easily come across a set of Vesa's. How about something like the Haas tuning multispokes, or the one's with the blackrims we spotted ages ago? The haas one's have also been seen on BMW's, so could be available. And the centre cap isn't big and plain, it carries on the spoke pattern detail, which is a nice touch. I was close to tracking down another of my favourite rare 400 styles, but never quite got there, I'll keep my eyes open for you mate.
