More than 3k, GSis are still making that!

For your 400 quid, I'd lower it and throw on a set of clear repeaters and a BFO.

BFO cone...there from PVD aint they?

Reckon it will look ok lowered? The standard alloys are pretty poor to look at

Compared to my 14's i havent really noticed any noteable difference. I dont really rag my car though so that might be why i cant tell the difference.

400quid. I'd go for - clear rear lights £60ish. Clear repeaters - £5, THen spend the rest on some 15's. OR you could go get some ice instead.
