Nice work Seth - the early grille certainly does the trick for the retro look. Ubiquitous rostyles anyone..? Couldn't lower it as there was no clearance without reshaping the arches..  |

I like the satin slots Seth but still prefer the steels - great work with the grille piece.

Satin it might be then. You guys have much more impeccable taste than Katie who likes the shiny  Imperial, I reckon the alloys might become the winter wheels to keep the steels nice. Is that an oxymoron? - and what's that grille behind them....? kev Kev, LOL at the grille. I presume you're talking about the super rare piece of the type IKEAus-Garden-chair-irus. |

Is that an oxymoron? id be keeping the steelies nice too, they suit it much better than the slots imo. not that the slots look bad. i think the steelies make it more hot rod looking |

Well, while I couldn't sleep last night I talked myself out of spending a bunch of money on these which ended on Ebay a little while ago.  They're 4.5 x 15's but would have needed re-drilling and a set of Smart car tyres or something. So, by saving £300 I didn't need to spend I think I might throw some money on rear suspension instead |
