Just thought id post to keep you updated! 
I got these off ebay, and drove 2 1/2 hours each way to pick them up this morning. Fitted tham, and it drives soooo much better.
new wheels
Since driving around for the last hour, i pulled into the garage, and the CV joint went again. On further inspection, all the bolts had undone
themselves!! 
Note to self; Dont be a complete cock next time i fit something to the car!
Looks like i didnt torque them up properly. 
smart alloys but whats happened to the roof? i looks like its sank inwards
avez had some on my vw corrado g60... sweet wheels 
what cars that ?
You shouldnt carry cows on the top of your car .nice wheels BTW
^^^
I know, the roof does look weird from this angle. It looks much better with the hard top, but it gets a bit warm inside!
The car is a UK ripoff of the american Mullen. I spoke to "Art" at mullen in the states, and he said that it was a copy of his cars that
someone had tried, but i dont think there are too many made over here. I was told by the last owner that the one i have is a prototype.... ??......
but i bought it because i liked it!
So there it is. check out www.mullenmotorco.com and the roof suddenly makes sense.

Nice wheels! I think they look better than the one's you were looking at on the rush.
In the gallery, they fourth photo from the end shows a good shot of the roof.

nnnnnope.
Its registered as an "AGT Sports". Whatever one of them is.
The car i have is almost identical to the Mullen, and almost completely different to the Avelle GTA.

yep - the gta has a transverse lump behind you, not at all like your 'appreciating asset' of a renault lump and transaxle.
And there was I thinking you had a unique car Richard... looks like there are more versions out there than seven clones
Ian
p.s. CB handle used to be Crazy Harry
Ive been thinking about wiring my midland 42's into the kit, but i wouldne be able to hear anything!!
Since we last spoke, the Zetec engine fell through as the guy i bought it from was a cock, but ive since found someone local that is a renault turbo
enthusiast that has spares etc....
So i will give the renault a fair crack of the whip, but if it cant get anywhere near the 200 target, then it will need to be changed.
It might be that it needs to be a 2.0l 12V Turbo to do that, but we'll see.
Ive picked up my spare UN1 transmission this week, so ive got more spares than i have space at the moment! - Still need to get rid of the oversized
crossflow yet!
Wheels make a lot of difference to the look mate.
Very nice
Looks like they fill the rear arches a treat now too. Still a bit gutted that you didnt like the 'C I D' look of the steels that i gave you
Those alloys were definately worth the trip today me thinks

Have you considered a nice v6 - should be plenty of room...
Laguna 3.0 v6 is supposed to shove out 210bhp
