Silver or Gold?
I solved the problem of the rear tyres touching the guards......
[IMG]  [/IMG]
17" rims with 45 series tyres, I needed spacers for the front to stop THEM rubbing though.
What do you reccon, gold or silver wheels?

Actually I've got new 245/45x16 tyres to fit the Halibrand lookalikes on the way, fingers crossed that with a lower profile than the old 55's that all will be shweet. |

don't like the shallow dish look of the gold rims.
I also think the Silver/gold contrast does't work as well as the Halibrands in the second photo.
IMHO  |

Might look good in black with a red pinstripe on the rim.

For those unable to detect my irony - this is the only style of vehicle what suits those wheels:
Take a bex, have a good lie down and put the silver ones back on when you come to your senses.

Yep, totally agree. Temporary exemption may be granted for track days, conditional on vehicle to be trailered to/from track under a full tarp.

Allright, allright, Spooks wheels have been sacked, the Hallis' are back on shod with 245/45 x 16s, less balloon than the 50 series for sure.
It looks this will solve the scrubbing, I just need to get out in the sunshine and do a test run.....pics to follow.
thanks for the opinions (not) |

Hmmmmm - disappointed you edited your post spook ol son. I was going to have a good go - but may have to wait another day
Although.........It does appear my worthless opinion is a view shared by the majority on this thread - so Ill just assume you consider all opinions other then yours as worthless, and leave it at that.
Byron Cobra - apologies if I sounded a bit harsh before, but I reckon yours is such a beautiful looking car with the halibrands. You have to make em fit.
Cheers
