additional short remark to the amazon-link regarding the twister pliers:

I would prefer the tool offered by Bob Lacey, because it’s made completely out of steel.

Look:
Pliers for locking wire : Vintage Wheels, Mustang, Hot Rod and Muscle Car

The pliers offered by amazon have a plastic end-piece (I speak about the chromed part of the twister pliers which has to be pulled to twist the tool).

I have got both tools and what I received from amazon looks really like Chinese rubbish …

And Stephen, as you are obviously already in contact with Bob Lacey, order not only the rims from him but also the tools, the safety wire and all the other stuff which is needed for the knock-off wheels. Bob know what he does and he also knows quite well what you will need… and don’t forget to order anti seize (something like 765-1674 NAPA Anti Seize Lubricant PTX80078), Bob can also provide this, even if he doesn’t offer this directly in his web-shop.

I’ve got the FIA wheels for my little car also from Bob – and his support was perfect, without any doubts!
