Dont worry Danny, you'll find some. Its no worse than looking for wheels in E-Series offset which Im sure you remember :P.

Why not just go Focus 17's like Ive got? Theres a Fiesta Zetec here with them and it looks great. Failing that I have 4 15's in the shed that'll fit :P.

Yes it is a damn shame.

From what I can gather, Mille Miglia were able to run the business quite well. They even just recently upgraded their factory and they were supplying alot of rims to Porsche.

But their fatal mistake was going guarantor for someone who did not come through with the goods.

I guess there is a lesson in this here somewhere I think.

Oh well, S#!T HAPPENS


I will continue the search.
