Err........no they're not!! Cav sri wheels are black on the inside of the cross pattern
sri= black cross
GTE = all silver

Have I ever heard of paint, yes I think so? Sorry, I don't get your point Hux? Do you mean that the black could be painted over to look all silver? Because of course they could, but the wheels in the pic are still sri wheels and not GTE. That was all I was saying _________________

Hey hey it's my car. |
As Mark would say "So it looked good once" I always liked the sri wheels as the plain GTE ones looked a bit bland |

Yeah thanks Lee, I found it a while ago and dropped the website mod an e-mail and he put me in touch with the guy who mailed me a potted history of the car and it's original rebuild. Quite interesting history, it's nice to know the extent of work carried out.
Thanks anyway m8. _________________

yeah you're right on that, but i think some of the late gtes came with non ronal wheels.
But all the same size/width style so theoretically the same wheels... _________________ Nurburgring - Not for girls |
