not that keen on the bk399 Andy, the bk299 looks nicer with the rim. don't like the spokes going right to the edge like on the bk399

Have a look at it.

The wheel shield is from 1:40 onwards, they are claimed that Honey wont stick ....that would be impressive.

Ive got the BK399s on my SE7 and think they suit the calibra, I've have been trying to get them in 5 stud fitment for my SE9 but they are no longer made. Spoke to one of the guys at BK a few weeks back and he got my hopes up saying they had one set left in the right offset lurking in their warehouse only to get a call the following day saying they made a mistake and they weren't the correct fitment. Lets just say i was a little bit disappointed.....
