Sorry about the angle, hope it doesn't mean you can't do it? If it doesn't work, let me know how I could've done it better please? Mike Edited by Mike wantza Merc, Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:11 pm.

I think because of the light clear clean image of the front lends itself well for some real nice wheels. My standard wheels and tyres are 15", what are size those?

They are 5x112 16" 8J rims Fit a 190 fine, just make sure you get the correct tyres if you do go for those.

I also would like to see black spoked with silver/chrome rims...I appreciate they're probably not pukka MB wheels.... Edited by Mike wantza Merc, Sun May 24, 2009 9:50 pm.

Wheel lugs are on their way, a set of lockers to source, and the centre pieces to be smartened up yet. I am looking forward to getting these on MBC as soon as funds allow..

Skutters advice was "Cupla coats of silver and then about 70 tins of lacquer...." Not bad for �50 for the four wheels, eh? Edited by Mike wantza Merc, Thu Aug 6, 2009 4:36 pm.
