Thanks Neo. I might take you up on that offer on the next set. Taken me 3 weeks to find a lathe that is free to use!   :sad:

Did some work on the two fronts today. These were about .4 thou off and tbh you could not feel any wheel vibration or never had any problems.




Just realised that most split rims will never be dead straight as the sealer used to seal them puts them off ballance slightly.
All flat areas were skimmed dead flat.  :cool:

Progress.

Fronts wheels re-skimmed to be dead straight (hopefuly i wont be dead in a ditch)

I can also run these reverse mounted now.  :smiley:






Will finish off the two rears tomorrow. Offer them up and see if i need a 1.5 or 2" dish.

Radinox stainless dishes.




Any time now  :cool:

chers Jay :) Yes glad I got rid. Running adaptors on the back and none on the front would have caused alot of headache if i had a flat.

Also making a 16'' RS space saver next. Will be using 2 dishes either side  :cool:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
