Hard to find rare 4x100 wheels for reasonable monies now IMO, but you seem to do quite well with your bargains so i'm sure you will come up trumps.
Youre not wrong there dude.
Maybe something none rare, but seldom seen on 300s then.

I'll see what I can dig up. :D

Lol, thats just what i thought, bet they don't stay under a ton though. Some cheap sets seem to come up on Clio forums, especially if you put up a wanted ad.

Not desperate for them mind.
Wouldnt go to serious hunting lengths.
Not really a 'holy grail rim' imo.

Sort of fall into the P-Slot and bbs category.
Nice, and if they come up as a bargain i'd have some.
But i wouldnt pay Wheel-whore money.
