Set of Cromodora's on eBay (£3,000)

Best aftermarket wheels I've seen are the Ultraleggeras that Kriss fitted to his ph1 back in the day.

But they weren't a direct fit and the rear still sat slightly too far out.

He can dictate the price as he see's fit! Not exactly many sets floating about. Keep in mind that they are Mags, and will bend easily...So if you break one, chances are you'll be waiting a while for another one to appear...and there's nothing to say that one will be straight.

Worthing speaking to Russo/Simon etc. about how much they paid...for context.
You sure about bending easily?
I use magnesium wheels for rallying and the last thing they'd do is bend. In fact it's astonishing how hard they are to bend or break and trust me, I've tried!!!

Maybe not 'easily' but more susceptible to bending/breaking than alloy.
The Cromodoras must be pretty poorly made wheels then
OZ magnesium wheels are practically unbreakable. Skoda Motorsport class their strength as being of equal importance to the weight saving vs regular alloys
 
Cromodora Mags were fitted to V6 Trophy race cars (and spares were supplied).

As the production company no longer exist; it is assumed that most sets that become available have come from a motorsport usage past.

I wouldn't call them vulnerable - it's just that some will be damaged. Careful testing/certification is advisable when shelling out big bucks.

Sploosh. Pass the tissues.

I am going to buy a set of these (despite having two sets for the 21 already lol)

Do you have any more info on these wheels Duncan? Pro-race 1.2 dont come in the offsets required. Its that simple, i've spoken to a friend who works for TD themselves. When I mentioned ET's of 6 and 68 he actually laughed. Do they fit without spacers? Yes, I thought I would have a cheeky go at getting them direct, but theyre literally telling me they dont do the ET's required for those wheels.

Interesting Dave! Maybe they are copies made elsewhere? There's more details on offsets in the link I pasted up above. I've seen two trophy cars running these wheels too, I wonder if they are in trophy offsets instead of the road ones.
Give the mob selling them a shout!

I have and they seem confident they can supply a wheel team dynamics themselves say they can't lol!
I haven't asked for the specific offsets yet. I might have to. My hunt for a set of phase 2 rims has resulted in nothing, I missed a new set in France today, they sold yesterday. I nearly cried!
