Default Wheels and tire done!

Its been a long journey getting this to the end stage. After what seemed like months of measuring offsets and working out tire sizes and compatibility I ordered custom wheels, adaptors and lug nuts from Vintage Wheels.

2 months later they arrived...ALL 4 rims DAMAGED.



Every box had been dropped and the packing wasn't great. So I then set out getting them all heated, rerolled, machined and polished and am now waiting for Bob to get insurance money from their shippers FEDEX (aka Fcukit transport).

Ive been reassured by Vintage they will pay me if FedEx don't pay them which is good news.

Anyway onto more positive outcomes this is the net result. (I can guarantee after adding in the repair costs these are the most expensive wheels I will ever buy!)

Started with this



Wanted it like this (note Superformance run larger fronts 255/40 and HUGE 725mm tall tires Rear 295/45 18)



And achieved this (In comparison to SF my front are 235/40 rears are 275/40 18 - rears approx 675mm tall)
