Nice looking motor :) - the wheels don't appear to be std MV6 ones, have you changed them?

...think they are standard but perhaps re lacquered silver from the sort of original black?
maybe ?

And whatever is behind in the picture looks "intresting" any one hazzard a guess?

Or more likely, got damaged (they're soft as dogturd), and were replaced as a set?

The rest of the pics now I know how the photobucket thing works!   ;)








Don't know bout wheels but as one has a chip on can definately say they weren't black at anytime!!

So the wheels thing....intrigued now!

Are they standard or not? any gurus know the answer? Must admit I always thought they were,definately irmscher wheels but looking at the anthracite ones I can see the difference.

The anthracite ones are the factory fit.  Prefacelift MV6 wheels are incredibly soft, and incredibly expensive. Its possibly that a previous owner knackered them, and replaced the whole set. Also likely, as the tend to corrode a little, is previous owner had them refurbished...

Thanks
