Ive made another set of wheels for my white 3dr, similar to the ones on the black 3dr, but the dish isnt as deep. so what you think, better than the chrome 5 spokes i had on ?

Sorry i havnt sent them wheels yet tony. ive just gone to bag them up mate, and ive realised, one of them has slight damage, ive cracked it when ive been trying to remove the brake disc (which is still attached as i couldnt get it off). your still more than welcome to them if you want them mate. tried to take a pic of the damage, but the pics dont really show it

Take the centres out of the standard wheels, chop the centres out of a set of deep dish split rims, and put the standard centres in there place, so you have standard cossie centres, and deep dish split rim outers, giving the effect of standard deep dish wheels.

I wouldnt have had a clue tbh buddy, lads on here gave me the advice, so its all down them to them really.

i just finished putting my lancia back together , had some problems painting it so wasnt 100% happy with it, but it was better than it was before, then tidying up my desk and dropped a big fuck off dollop of superglue on the windscreen! oh well, looks good on the top shelf away from plain sight lol

did the interior and some other minor bits on the impreza wagon too, found a nice spoiler just gotta wait ofr the putty to set and sand/paint/fit, then figure out how to put the wheels on and im done
