oh i c. the bad points of speedlines are that they are so fooking expensive.the paintjob on them is pants.... they always corrode and youll end up paying out for a full refurb.
softstars come brand new for £239 and have a good finish on them!

the paint just wears thin on the edges of the spokes. well it did on both sets that i had on my nova and my old gsi.
cav gsi 15's seem to be a hot fav atm (aka dustbin lids lol)
