one of my wheels has died so no fordfair for me, gutted is a understatement!

someone had the wrong bolts fitted to my escos wheel before i brought them, i replaced them with the right ones, but the damage seems done and they have damaged the bolt holes and now they are dangerous, which i noticed when my wheel started wobbling whilst driving it today (luckily)

Been looking forward to ths show all year too!!!

Adam.

i have my standard 3 spokes but they are in need of a refurb, and the cars mint ready for the stands, even had the cossie wheels painted.....another problem being i have 300mm brakes now so my standard wheels will no longer fit over the brakes

get down halfords and buy some sand paper/ primer/ and decent silver paint ( a bright one) and laquer and just when putting the primer on keep rubbing them down till they are proper smooth....

best to stand back abit to get a light coating on at a time, i did a set of scrap wheels last year and sold them for £300 as they come out that nice....

wont be more than £60 and you could get £200 for them finished?????

is there no way of fitting a larger washer over the threads mate,so it stops the nuts pulling thru? or dont u have enough thread?

Adam.

Was talking to my mate about this last night, father in law is an engineer, so gunna see if he can do anything with it

Stolton

That's what I was going to say, use different wheels to get there, stick the cossies on there, then swap to go home

Adam.

Surely this blindingly obvious - chuck your Cossie wheels on the front (2 of the 3 good ones you have). Stick 2 of your 3 spoke OE wheels on the back.

Drive there, swap the two remaining Cos wheels onto the car at the show. Job done, 50% of the effort needed to do all 4 wheels, 50% less wheels to cart up to the show in the first place.

Exactly.

Could be worse, mine won't run properly and my daily car has it's MOT this week. I could end up walking

Adam.

Judging by where the bristol RSOC have been put id be better off not bringing it anyways
