got my build wheels at last.......

They need the laquer re-doing but I will refurb them later. Set of 4 wolfrace alloys with tyres from the bay of e (and a mere £40 for all 4) Right size and right offset pcd etc etc so Im happy. Picked them up today and wasted no time in popping them on






Now I can move her around ready to put the engine in!!

quick fix I use for curbing like that it to fit it to a driven wheel and spin it in 3rd gear, then you can file and sand the marks away in no time, even spray paint while spining

quite nice wheels tbh

I've even bored out the centre hole that way by bolting a lathe boring tool on to a long steel bar and using it like a wood turning tool.
Mind I was young and stupid then.
No longer young





You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a chainsaw
