Well after selling my speedlines i wanted to try and get some euro-ish wheels after seeing a euro rallye ages ago and found these then found out they were rs500 rims,as you can see there in abit of a state but polishing the rims and should be spraying the centres a slightly darker silver,tho i have no center caps

trial fitting on the rear , lovely paint job



Then to the front


Then all four




Then got an old tyre to put on a rim to test out for scrubage on the road





Then got on with abit o polishing,really not as dangerous as first percieved



all still there


Going do them again with the roughest paper to get it all right but happy with how easy it was

And 1 2 shed motorsport crew

Think I'd be investing in some proper axle stands tbh

Love the wheels on there though

naaah spare wheels and some pieces of wood do the job,abit more cushiony than axle stands with the shakey jakeness it encurs when i had the wheel spinning,was running for more than 40 mins and didnt move an inch

Try Ford. If no longer serviced, then something like the RSOC classifieds or Passionford.

I think they look better without them on the Peugeot though.

i kno the sierra rims are the same but sounds cooler sayin rs500 rims and i think they look better without the centres, theres no chance of takin fingers off as the spokes are so close but i wouldnt like to do it on a lesser spoked rim
