Next up, I wanted to replace my wheels to the correct offset so until I can afford new wheels I resprayed the original alloys black.

Current alloys with incorrect offset (sitting to far in):

Rubbed the original wheels down:

Some of the original fake split rim nuts had sheered off, so I replaced these with the real equivalent sizes:

I fitted these with Araldite and re-secured any loose fake nuts with it too!

Then I primed the wheels:
