Shocked wow, I've been off work for 2 days as I hurt my back, (just had a chiropractor jumping up and down on me) and only just seen this thread...I now have wifi,tv (first time in 6 months) and sat in bed with mrs greeni's iPad
Thanks for the response to the thread, it's nice to see that it's a good reference!
I'd love to put a pic of my 90 with the Mach 5's on, but I just can't 'spanner' to get the boosts off....booooo!

You are quite correct, they are the Compomotive alloys which were similar to the Freestyle Alloys that Land Rover used to supply. These were the 8.5x16, i think they did them in 8x16 as well? I have had them for about 10 years now and recently got them repainted, like you i wondered what they'd look like in black but am pretty pleased with them. Very Happy

Been thinking of having mine done, may I ask how much it cost to have them done?

Great looking 110, i reckon having the alloys done in black would go really well with the red. Mine are actually a black chrome which you can see in the photo below. It was taken when they were applying the chrome paint so the wet paint gives it more of a chrome effect than they have now that they are dry. I saw them before they put the chrome on and the base coat was Santorini Black, they looked really good in that as well but i decided to take the plunge and have a couple of layers of chrome added. I was charged £400 for all 5 wheels, don't know if that's a good deal or not but they are only a mile down the road so it was convenient! Wink
