With everyone wanting ML alloys on their syncros I've gone the retro (& cheaper) route.......

My freshly painted 6J wheels with 205 tyres.......

Yeah, I like the 6J look... I have a set in France waiting for me... but then I have several sets of other wheels too... :oops: maybe I should rename myself "Toomanywheels"............ :rofl

Shall I list them........... Oh... maybe not... it really would look like some perverse fettish......... :shock: :oops:

know what you mean acquired a set of 5 mts on alloys before the last event to go with the six mefros on the van and the 5 originals in the shed at home ended up returning home with 7 wheels in the van although i must say they make great camping furniture nothing like a mefro bfg table and matching chairs altho a bit heavy to move from one place to the other :D
