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

 

Thanks sent you  pm..

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

 

Ok thanks..yes i will be running 7.5 disks and i was unsure if these would work..no probs tho as this was only lucksy to see how steels looked my aim is probably rose petals..yours as expected is looking as superb by the way.. 

 

 

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.

 

Bens work is flawless i don't do his work for a living but i do a fair bit of fabrication and welding for a vehicle test and development company...My role is varied i can be changing an engine one day ..making a jig the next or chopping the floor out of a car the next day etc..my point is when you do the same job every day you get to be the best ..thats how i see bens work..perfect.I get to spend about 3 hrs on mine every eve and a big chunk of the weekend it seems like I've been on it for ever and still keep finding bits..yesterday was the first time i had it on the spit so i was able to check underneath as its only been rolled on its side before now..all looks well I'm pleased to say..

Love the wheels, I have a set boxed away for mine when the time comes

 

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

 

those are cooper reverse steels aren't they? You can get away without arches on those.. little bit of poke

 

Yes they are..i like to see a nicely filled arch with just a touch of poke hence why i may have to go for a 4.5 rim ..

What jig is that mate?

How’s it coming on at the painters?

Loving this build thread - especially the attention to detail on things like the louvres and the grille.
