Question

Ok I have been back on the bay and found two sets of refurbished wheels
1. Wolfrace 5 spoke 18" ET 40 7.5 J 4 stud £150
2. Cosworth style 15" ford fitting £160
can have them delivered for £25 but as they are not far from me I think if I have them I will collect and then I can inspect them before paying for them

any thoughts guys

I think 18" will give a harsh ride in a roadster with the low profile tyres you will need and the tyres are expensive, especially compared to the abundant 195-50-15s.

I reckon any 18s would look silly.

are the cosworth ones the 5 spokes with quite a rounded profile on the spokes? I'm on this look out for some like that, I think they will look good.
