Santa came early to me?

This morning the caretaker at work came in with a package as big as him (no joke) for me:

inside:



Bought off ebay, all they were advertised as were 13" alloys with Cinquecento in the description. Opened the box to find what look like brand new wheels with Speedline stamped on them! They are 13x5, quite skinny but look absolutely gorgeous imo.

Now thinking whether to dump the ready to paint KN Minators and use these on the cinq or just sell on.. One of the cinq wheels is semi polished up, rest are stripped ready to do, a little harder than i thought but a lot less time than my Jetta's Castellets which have taken about 30 hours now i reckon! Quick preview of nearly finished castellet:


Wheel collection now extended to:
4x98 14x6 KN Minator wheels (ready to paint silver)
4x98 13x7 Weller racing steel wheels (white, bit tatty)
4x98 13x5.5 Cinq sporting wheels (stripped ready to polish, 1 half polished)
4x98 13x5 Speedline wheels (silver)
4x100 15x7 Ronal turbos (diamond cut)
4x100 14x6 Castellets (nearly all mirror polished)
4x100 13x6 Compomotive MS Race wheels (black centres, polished dish/lip)
4x100 15x5.5 Mini One wheels
4x100 14x6 Jetta steels (black centre, orange dish/lip)

AND i'm winning 2 more sets on ebay as we speak..

I think you've got a problem. There might be places to go for people with wheel habits.

You planning to sell them all?

I agree, women can never be seen in the same shoes or clothes twice. I guess your car goes through the same motions.

What offset is the new rims?

Re: Santa came early to me?

Pete has said apparently they were an option on early cinq s/sx, i have never seen a set myself but if so i would imagine they would be perfect fitment. i cant see a specific ET mark, ill have a proper look!
