^^^ Please sell me your rims for $1500 delivered.....k thanks!!! 

Nitro, I'd love to as it would help with the cost of the new ones! Unfortunately though I will have to store them in my garage indefinitely as I would need them in future when I sell to ensure authenticity of this classic (and hopefully collectible) Sprint. Pain in the arse taking up space in the garage but it is the right thing to do, I'm sure. Sorry . . . Cheers, Brian.

Excellent description of the colour selection process.  I can see why you went with white.  I agree the range is so limited now, it's sad.

 

And yeah you're sensible to keep the original rims!

hahah....I was just messing dude! At one stage those rims (in the silver) were commanding stupid premiums (like people asking 2.5-3k for a used set). 

With a new 750 sets coming into circulation (albeit black) im sure that asking price will drop significantly. If a set comes up locally at decent price I may consider it....cause wider OEM rears ;)  
 

I've got my spare set of honeycombs in the storeroom too......but you might as well rotate between sets and use up the tyres before they go bad (tyres are only really good for 5 to 6 years max)....so if you're not selling anytime before then, you may as well get the use out of the rubber. But yes, very smart for keeping in the event you ever sell....hell if the cars available in 2020 I may make the trip down :P hahaha

At first didnt like FG X well don;t really like them that much now due to their looks nut did see FG X xr8 recently behind me on a cruise and in black looked decent though would never buy white FG X, FG F6 yes but that's it or FG GT although Im not a v8 person

Yeah the black is good, hides some of the shapes.  Similar to how I dislike the wedgie rear end and busy front of VF HSVs but in black it calms the look down and makes it good again.
