Cheers again m8! The bloke said apart from the Creosote ( ) the wheels were in excellent condition so you really did give me a bargain. Thanks m8! Thats 2 great deals you've given me, you'll want a shot of my girl at this rate

Unfortunately it does. Sheets are never the same again. And every time the burd farts you get a puff of blue smoke. It's like living with a bus sometimes.......

Will try the KY and see how I get on

I couldn't get the centre caps powdercoated as they would have melted being plastic an all that.

So, I bought a tin of Plastic primer and some satin black and done em myself. The missus was most displeased to find me baking the paint on in the oven

But they dried and gave an almost perfect match

I'm feeling very smug here.

Anyway, here's some pics

While I was away at sea there my tyres showed up.



Hard to get in this size Got mine from Germany



So, today I got the tyres fitted and put them on the car. I like it! I might space them out a bit, as they're only 6" wide they look a bit thin in the arches...







Cheers!

They look shithot mate - did you choose 185s for clearance on the inside arch and spring cup?

I ran 195s with those wheels on my FRST - they seem to suit most Fiesta's it seems

Good choice of colour too

Cheers,

Andy

Cheers m8! It's on the back I found the most issues. I had a silver XR2 some years ago and the 195's rubbed on the inner arch. I thought the 185's would be better suited to my, erm, enthusiastic driving style.......


Stoo Cheers m8!

Looks good,

space them out i think, especially the backs.


i had 195/45 15s on my xr2,
had to "modify" the arches................used pliers to fold the arches,
and a sharp stanley knife to trim the bodykit!

didn't rub then! even with -50mm springs and a knob driving!
