Yes it will be chromed ..I'm planning to make the fixings for it hidden so it will look clean and simple just like a van should be..

nice touch.

 

..will you be running disks or drums ?

 

if you're on disks those reverse rims will stick out a bit.  S rims will poke an inch less, but finding a set of steel ones might be a bit of a challenge

Yes i love a nice wide steel but don't want to run arches so these will end up as ornaments again !

If you choose you want steels, I have some original 4.5" 'S' rims for sale.

thanks - Ben's doing great job.  Far better than i ever could, and a damn sight quicker.  i reckon he's a good 6months ahead of where i'd have got to in the same time!

..if Revvit's not interested i might be, depending on condition&price.
