I love offset. Posts: 8,729 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: November 2, 2005	Just be sure to keep them CLEAN man, a quick wipe when you are parking up the car at night will keep them shiny. I got a bit lazy and now I have to bust out the metal polish, again Looking forward to the pics of them on.

Once the car is ready and im happy with it then I'll post some pics up, unless you check my facebook ( thats where all the sneaky shots end up) Tyres are on order, wheelnut covers and bolt in tyre valves are here though

Sales Rep Posts: 1,822 Group: Members Member #1,387 Joined: June 9, 2007	Cheers I've never really been a fan of big wheels on retro cars, except on a unimog. 15 is a nice size and even lighter than 16's so it helps the lil 1.8 out with the unsprung weight.
