LeeM Posted 28June, 2018 Report Share Posted 28June, 2018 I love a good 550 replica (theres a bloody good one here in Adelaide), yet they could have done correct wide 5 rims instead of the 4 stud on this one. Just doesn't look right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck from USA and McRae from Noo Zuland. Differences between the two - not much, minor details. 9 hours ago, symsy said: but you want thise better wheels , are they or were they Rudge.. ? Just proper 5 stud 356 wheels (or copies). Rudge wheels are single spinners. 8 hours ago, LeeM said: Gotta be $300k starting price.
