done the best i could on ps to get them the right size but im planning on using lower profile tyres than in the pics.
this is now the plan for them. colour may be slitely diferant gold and maybe abit more chromey and shiney but you get the idea.
dont ask about the rear wheel  :grin: i give on trying to get it right.  :grin:
was looking at diferant colour fly eye aswell ()fly eye not fitted when this pic was taken)) to see if they did gold  :laugh: dont think they do tho  :cry:

Looking good mate - will like to see these when they are all done :)

I'm using 80 grit to sand them all back by hand to get all the corrosion off. Then will use high build primer and sand that back to a 2000 grit then the colour wich I havnt decided wich gold to use yet then a stupid amount of coats of clear to give it a really deep shine.

And yes th ate from a seat taledo. Wheels cost me £25.
Not sure if I will need spacers on the front yet for caliper clearance but will deal with that once icmv finnished them.
