Post by: andrewparker on December 06, 2010, 07:10:38 am: Haha, you could only get them on the Pirelli, so I'd say they were almost perfect for a limited edition, unlike the Edition 30 alloys!

You have worked them out haven't you?

Post by: coullstar on December 06, 2010, 09:09:51 am: They may be limted numbers but what I was getting at is that for a "special" edition the wheels are rather bland IMO.

Post by: andrewparker on December 06, 2010, 09:21:41 am: I think they're a great design, especially when you realise how they've incorporated the letter Ps.
