Thought I'd just post up a lil bit of an update

Treated myself to these this week



After a quick trial fitting



And today i've got them all stripped down ready for refurb. I'm currently waiting on a quote to have the wheels welded and redrilled from 5x120 to 5x100   :drool:

no unfortunately the having the wheel centers redrilled is costing enough, so refurbing these myself, and the edges of the rims were quite badly curbed, so i've tidied them up with some chemical metal, but these means i can't have the dishes polished as they were, so thinking of respraying the dish and the center two different colours, but now sure what colours to go for yet

not unfortunate.. .sounds like a plan.. maybe a darker centre with an alloy silver on the dishes?
