That looks fantastic - I bet your brother is sick that he sold it. He should sell his Mondeo and buy another R8!
The alloys were fitted to the Rover 218V
i which had the 1.8VVC engine. They look much better on your car than I imagined and a definite improvement over the plastic trims. Did you change the front bumper as well or was it like that?

I have driven an MG ZS120 (the one with a 1.8 engine) and it was not very interesting. The owner has since sold it and bought a ZS180 because it was too slow. I'd keep the 220 if I was you!

That looks in lovely condition. Alloys go well on it too.
I do think Rover made some of the best alloy designs out there.
