Go for the MTM 600hp conversion and see if they will throw in the wheels for free? [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Do MTM not have a catalogue? Coz my girlfriend reckons most catalogues now offer 52 week payment terms - interest free [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

Similar problem here. Just go for the wheels then, and smile when you go to bed, 'cos you are still 78hp up! [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

They both look pretty similar to me - go with the cheapest of the two.

It looks like the spokes on the MTM wheels stick out from the rim, therefore could get damaged easier?
That's my thought anayway. They both look the mutts. [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]

100% Sportec...

One of my favorite [img]images/graemlins/rs4-button.jpg[/img] is Andiro's car....If you look at an big picture of that car...those rims...it gives the car that little extra.. [img]images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

The Sportec ones look fantastic. Don't like the MTM, they look too much like racing wheels, if that makes sense.

I just re-read this and laughed to myself - Andy - you had any problem cleaning it
