Thanks my friend. it's currently off the road. Need some better photos really. and need to drift it!
some progress pics of the wheels

the corrosion and state! poor wheels



One had a giant piece missing out of the lip, about 2 inches in and 3 inches wide was damaged. Rim Tec in Meopam helped me out and fixed it up perfect along with the other curbing on that rim


185,55 test fit cos I was bored


before + after a good scrub
