Those old discs of yours were looking pretty grim.

How did you fit them anyway? You been buying tools???

no, got them done at a garage, by a guy I know.... too big a job to tackle
for me, not just with tools... but space as well....
but turned out pretty well got some nice shiny chrome studs to go on now as well, as they've arrived......came with the wheels ( arrived seperately)

I was only thinking paint.

I got mine done in yellow with black letters and they came out a threat.

sounds good, saw some modders on the US forum, was a guy doing quite a range of colours.... including for some reason Pink!!!
HE was doing an exchange programme on them

Did you do them yourself, or get them sent off?

Re: Grand Sport Wheels

I was going to do them myself but I had the car over with Custom Exotics getting a few bits done so I got them to do it.

They did a great job on them. This is the best pic I have on the computer.

Re: Grand Sport Wheels

Don't do them yellow!!

Partly because they will look out of place on your car with the colour of the body and wheels.

But mainly because I just did mine that colour to look different to the rest up here so bugger off.

Re: Grand Sport Wheels

Drive very carefully, ..one decent pothole and those spokes will be history!

Our local wheel refurb place has quite a scary corral of broken, tall spokey rims mostly off bling bling 4x4's and pickups.. Amazing how easily they disintegrate even at urban speeds.

Can't beat a solid rim and decent bit of sidewall for peace of mind when ragging the beast out in the sticks!!
