Works well - could always have done them smoke grey if not I suppose!!

Feel you need the post 97 rub strips on your car to match the rest of the chunkier looking black trim

that looks class mate!!

i know you need to keep things practical but this wouldn't half look awesome slammed 70mm front and 100mm rear!

i'm considering going 7.5j on the rears instead of the 8s, but if i can get them under by just giving the arches hell i'll stick with 8j.

Thanks very much Guys.
Rich, that is an option .. either take it off completely or put a post 97 one on.

Aron, yep i would love to do that, since the front is on coilovers i shall wind them down a bit more for shows but will have to get a similar set up for the rear.
plans sound good tho dude.. will be awsome if you can keep the 8's

James, i shall do mate

Dan, cheers mate .. havent seen you about for a while.

Thanks Mark

well i've had a lot on with work & life etc. so i haven't had the chance to sort the bbs's out yet .. everything i need to finish them is here (tyres, valves, new badges etc.) so i'll get them sorted asap.
I couldn't make the EM meet today either but i did clean the car just in case i was able to go

update from a few days ago .. Wheels Built




first off make sure the rim is clean & apply a silicon sealant around the inside edge .. also a dab between the bolt holes



place the dish on and start off all 30 bolts



bolt up the wheels & torque up each bolt, leave to set and place a bead of sealant on the joint inside the rim



job done
