Cor blimey, that's a piece of engineering mastery right there. Love a good roll cage. WHS ^ Any idea on "added weight from the cage" |

Hadn't come across those, so thanks for the links. You're seeing my problem tho  Hadn't expected there to be any issues getting parts when I bought them.. I should probably investigate these things in advance! Cor blimey, that's a piece of engineering mastery right there. Love a good roll cage. WHS ^ Any idea on "added weight from the cage" Truth be told I do not know. I'll take it back to the weighbridge when it's done. Hopefully still a bit less than its starting weight (1355kgs). |

Why 16's are strange I don't understand. |

I should probably read back, but also check out : www.cruxwheels.com/Yup should definitely have read back, they only do up to 15" barrels and lips. |

as above, image are pretty handy. they were able to custom make some obscure rim sections for my bosses race car when he decided to fit some unsuitable wheels to it..... wasnt too expensive either from what i recall, less than i expected, anyway.....

Current fleet:
'58 A35 (half mine)
'67 11 window splitscreen vw (half mine)
'77 mini 1000 (not quite 1000 any more!!)
'86 Armstrong MT500
'89 XR4X4
'94 Corrado VR6
Some sort of sevenesque kit car (no age yet!!)
'01 Mondeo estate 2.0 (engine eventually destined for kit car!) - scrapped, engine only left!
'98 E300 estate, rusty but seemingly reliable, fast-ish tat hauler. eventual engine donor
A35 van, or whats left of it after it lived in a field for many years

Thanks, will check in with them. I need to do a proper measure up of the wheels / current lips & barrels so the new ones can be correctly spec'd.

Ha! Thanks all Weirdly it's designed to go over the stock sideskirts & door trim panels (sacco panels, in Benz nerd speak) which I hadn't realised, and they're not on the car, hence the weird gaps. |

Are you going for exposed fixings or fixings behind a load of wag to smooth out the transition from kit to car? |

Are you going for exposed fixings or fixings behind a load of wag to smooth out the transition from kit to car? I think I already know the answer, and it's the light-er weight one |
