Good work LSB, not a bad effort at all when all you used was the basic jack. The rusty hubs are an eyesore so it was good sense to paint them when they’ll be both more visible and highlighted by the light coloured wheels.
The Bolas are a good choice, nice and OEM looking plus light.
As SR says, the suspension will quickly settle back to a lower position.
I used to be a tyre sceptic too, definitely a case of the proof is in the pudding! I think years ago there wasn’t a massive gulf between top brand tyres but in recent years there are a few truly standout tyres.
Do the OEM nut covers fit in the Bola bolt holes ok?
