Title: Hp Design Wheels
Post by: alileg69 on September 11, 2004, 08:09:19 PM
Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that these wheels are available?!!! can get a set imported from the US at a cost of £360 for a set of 18x8!!!!!, but then more than £200 Shipping, then tax on top of that!!!
there must be some company over here that has seen how gorgeous these wheels are!!!!
just so you know, they are made by HP Design and the model is HP5.

Please let me know if you know anything!!!!

I\'ll get in there before Lee and (without wishing to cause offense!) say:

8" rim = \'gay\'.

Stock 16s are 8 or 8.5"?

After market rims for an FD should be 9" AT LEAST :D

Aftermarket 8" rims are for Saxo\'s et al :)

Sorry, never heard of them over here. £360 for a set, as in 4?

These are for a Turbo 2 Cabrio, not an FD. have been warned to go no bigger than 225/40/18!!!!!

But yes, 8" would be gay on an FD!!!
