not sure tim open for ideas and offers i guess like some thing different with a big dish but not to spangly its a racer not a cady so some thing with a nice polished rim and a dark insert maybe

Of course with that description, Watanabe/Speedstar RS-8s come to mind. The split-rim ones...

And no, you can\'t have the ones I\'ve squirreled away for my FC.

Actually, they might look a bit too \'old school\' on and FD, and they\'re not deeply dished either. But they\'d do the polished rim with dark insert very nicely.

If budget was no issue, and race trim was your angle then these are the daddies.

Haven\'t got any pics of mine at the moment and it\'s a tad dark outside to take some :) but a quick Google brought up these:

They\'re not that easy to find in the UK and as mentioned probably a bit Old Skool on an FD, but they look ace on an FC :)

Absolutely nothing wrong with the Emotions dude :no:
Out of interest, if you sell them, let me know how much you\'d want, and what size/offset they are ;)
