Wheel porn 😎
 
Wow, sexy !

(I hate to say something slightly negative, but those polished rims will surely need a lot of looking after?!)

... but no pain no gain :thumb:

Beautiful wheels Stuart ;)

Roro, if they get to the point where they need proper sorting the good thing is they can be stripped down and separated. I did one of mine this year; just deflate tyre then undo all the bolts to split the rim.

 
Beautiful set of wheels , pics when on your car please !!

I can't be precious about the polish. My smile outweighs the worry. As soon as they're fitted I'll get some pictures.

Awesome can't wait to see the pics :)

Ps... what's the difference between these and the LM's you had previously?
 
+1 for gorgeousness :thumbs:
plus I am typing this cuddling and surrounded by my early Chrimbo pressie, a new set of forged magnesium 19 inch Manthey MM1s that I collected today :thumb:

Looks and weight, the LMs are actually quite heavy.

I really wanted BBS monoblocks but the offsets for 18" options were just too much. The look very nice.

Is this what shoe shopping feels like for women...?
 
These look great, considering a set on my 964 early next year.
 
They look epic Stu...

Love them.

(Lucky git lol)
