I think the skirts are making the wheels look smaller, once they are off and its a bit lower itl be bang on, i like them

The wheels look ace. Getting the skirts off will be a fantastic improvement too!

Yeah, but I'd need to get them smoothed, painted silver, then painted with satin black rattle cans, then spend 4 hours lining them up.
I agree though, it needs them

Agreed. I think you needed bigger wheels. But then i thought the old ones looked better.

It's not about the looks, I'd rather be able to turn than look good parked at the shops.

Not bad Andy, not great but they weren't expensive and I'd heard of them.
They seem to be dealing with the power alright but there could be more wet grip TBH.

Saw Max's car at the central day the other weekend, still looks good these days.
Wheels have been sold, yes.
Ported head is on the cards now , possibly a tubular manifold and larger turbo.
