wether they paint the inside of the rim or not does not reflect the overall quality of the wheel

yeah cos they are heavy too, not good for performance, have also have experience of the alloy being very soft, seen several hit kerbs and bend and crack, whereas the equivalent oz has been pretty solid

Wheels are meant to deform when they hit a curb. I would rather a destroyed wheel over a bent chassis....

Hi

Thanks for your enquiry

Mille Miglia have not gone bust,they are still producing wheels in italy.
It was actually the UK importers that went bust.

We (LTC TYRES) are now taking over from the bankrupt importers & importing
Mille Miglia wheels to the UK.

If you would like to buy these wheels & Yokohama tyres please call 1384 898014

Thanks Jamie
01384 898014
LTC TYRES
