I don't mind both wheels ... although the BF 18's looked the better of the 2 wheels.

Matt obviously thought they'd look better, otherwise he wouldn't have forked out coin for them.

There's no comparison though.

Having said that, Matt certainly likes to change his wheels a lot.

How about a series of photos Matt? LOL!

Well Maurie, I'm getting closer to you, I've just come home with a new set of wheels. I couldn't take the criticism anymore ;) I won't say what the new ones are just yet, I'll put them on and get some photos first, but I think the response will be a lot better this time...

So the final installment in the GT-P vs BF XR is that I'm selling both sets. I've got 5 GT-P 18" rims (four with centre caps), 4 BF XR8 18" rims, and four Sumitomo 235/40/18 HTR-ZII tyres that need new homes. Tyres are currently on the FPV wheels, and would rather sell them like that for sake of ease.
PM me if you're interested. Cheers, Matt.
