Ant,

the Trigo set up comes in three parts;
- the rims, which if ordered in 427 trim have polished rims and a blue/grey center. The pic I posted does not really show the colour so well. I will try to post a more colour accurate pic today.
- the adapter set
- A lead hammer (a $45 accessory) is not included, but 100% worth it.

You will also note that the Trigo's come in a neutral offset ONLY (3.5 inches from memory). To match the track of the original 427, your rear end will need to be 52.5 inches wide, hub face to hub face (this also allows for the Trigo adapters, they will add .5 inches to the width). From there you will need to measure up the width of your car inside the rear wheel wells to calculate the tyre size you can run.

Bernie,

so far so good, Thanks. Got my Qld Club card and packet yesterday. Starting to finalise the engine rebuild. Should be good to go come winter.

Regards

Cameron
