Check them over very carefully....

i was really dissatisfied with my wheels from Compomotive

I have one with a casting error near the base of one of the spokes and i alsoi have a scrape along one rim (fortunately on the inside edge so you can't see it ehan the tyre is on but not low enough to cause a problem)

Also 2 of my center caps were crushed. probably as they seem to be badly pressed out of tin foil

By the time I knew all this the tyres were on so chaces of getting anything sorted wre zero

Nice looking wheels though

Looking dead swish

I'm trying to decide what wheels I want on mine. I'm a bit torn between the CXR's, 5-spoke MO or the Team Dynamics Pro-Race. The MO is my favourite wheel but i'm not too sure how it'll look on a seven, anyone seen any on one before (or have pics)?

Very nice! 15"? Would be interested in the weight. Will be looking for some light weight 14s for the next build.

My 16" x7" (front) and 16" x 8" (rear) are a bit on the heavy side

But the 245/35 Toyo Proxes on the back look great

Apparently so - see MNR's race car.

I'm told that only CXRs and Caterham multispoke wheels (see Chockymonster's build diary) will go over Sierra rear brakes.
