Although mine are new I didn't buy them from source but from somebody elses
abandoned project. The guy I got them from said they were about £450 a set
and they are drilled to order. I can find out for deffinate if you like as I
know where the guy bought my ones. They are a bit different to the original
style minlite (which you can get but are very exy) but I think they suit the
510 alright. They are a sort of modern equivelent and fairly popular in
Motorsport here. Supalites look very good but not in this size and offset.
Supalites look great in 7x13 and 7x14 but the 15's don't look so nice. They
are reasonably priced too.

19 Datsuns and counting...
