Yeah i did. Wasn't going to take them off again just to take a pic What thickness were your adaptors? Mine are 30 (i think) yet the catch on the front!

I'll wash and take pics tomorrow when all the wheels are on.

looking good jimmy, they would look better on my golf though,

i hope you've got a good few coats of wax on that paint to protect the car seeing as you use it everyday.

Major update!

Fist off, i've now got a lovely shiney strut brace.





I'm sure you'll have all skipped the strut brace pics to see the banded steels. I've got to get them painted then on Tuesday i'm getting some tyres fitted.

These are the 8" wide fronts.....





These are the 9" wide rears....





The banding.....



And a rear wheels trial fitted....



Oooooooh wide!
