Time consuming,it's the longest we've ever spent fitting air but everything has been done as it should,no cutting corners on this one.Two days work so far,but we now have the rears fitted.

It wasn't untill i saw the car drop at the rear that i thought YES,with the new wheels it's going to be the big change that i said it would be :smug:

Still waiting for delivery of the fronts,but they should be with me in the next few days.All the hard work is pretty much done,the fronts are just a case of swapping the shocks over and plumbing in the air line.


The wheels have been a hassle,but the rears along with my custom 13mm adaptors have been completed,should have kept the csl's the amount of money it's taken but hey ho it should look good and be a one off.

No,the wheels are 5X120 so using my current adaptors,but to get the rears to sit how i want them it required loosing 3mm off the offset.I had planned to have 3mm machined of the back of the rear wheels,but due to the spoke design it wasn't possible,a solution had to be found fast.The idea came up about taking 3mm off the adaptor but this would leave the bolts that hold them to the hub sitting proud 3mm(they can't be chopped down,for head strength),so it was decided that we should make little pockets in the back of the wheels to accommodate the bolts.Got the call earlier to say that they are finished.Rubber is here,just needs fitting.
