But that could change depending on your model and colour.

gold redlines,


i've just put some on my wagon and they look awesome

I can vouch for the seller too, it's where mine came from and they were delivered very quickly. They guy who works there who deals with ebay sales also drives an RA!

believe it or not, they don't. just makes sure you upgrade the tyres to 215's from 205's. Day two, I went round a corner clumsily and pushed the back end of the car round on the kerb line (eek) checked the wheel afterwards, not a mark, the tyre took it all and just pushed me off the Kerb

I bought a set of the 17"Redlines in gunmetal grey from the same guy, also upgraded to the 215's.
£570 inc Toyo T1-S, valves, balancing, wheel nuts (which you def need by the way) and delivery.
Excellent quality, good service and they look the dogs.

Any chance of a piccy lads,do like the look of both but the redlines look easier to keep clean.
