Agreed, steel wheels are sooooo 1840's.
Speedlines just look the bee's bollox on a BX. ANY BX. Make it so!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Spot on again Doc. They transform even the humblest of BXs and make them look 100% better.
Not as good as aftermarket alloys of course, but certainly ftw.

:twisted:
I'll forgive you this once young man, since you're married and therefore clearly slightly deranged! :wink: :lol:

That said, any alloy is better than steel.

REMEMBER! Your BX needs alloys. Treat your BX right and it wont leave you on the side of the M25 at 0200 on Xmas morning!

1] That's debateable Billy! :wink: All depends on which cr@ppy aftermarket design gets shoved onto what car! On a BX there ain't much to compete with Speedies!! :lol:

2] You estate can't prove anything right now! It's not seen the light of day since Gawd knows when! GET THE B%GGER FIXED!!! :wink:

They've gone past bad Doc. All the lads were either away or working so it was 2 nights on the bounce of pretend enjoyment. Now I'm off for the week and so is she and we ain't going away. Please look over you house at about 3.00pm tomorrow and that funny thing in the sky will be my will to live escaping :lol:

I'll be doing something with the BX this week, possibly even scrapping it. I've already got three other cars to collect and/or scrap: Mk3 Fiesta, ZX hatch and some God awful old VW thing. Heaven knows what it is, apparantly it's like a Polo with a boot, Derby or something like that?

VW derbys are quite rare these days Billy, may be worth a few quid

Aye...sounds like a Derby!
Had some fun throwing an old Derby around the Yorkshire Dales about 15 years ago.....tillmy mate crashed it into a drystone wall and killed it! :shock:
