Yeah man, standard Ronal R10 ET, front has rubbing, but I removed the camber now, I accidently did that when re fitting the coilovers because I have camber adjusters up front.

It only rubs on the inner arch towards the top, so I jacked it up and cut out a small area for clearance in the arch, you get a few rubs here and there but thats all part of the fun!

I did say this earlier on!

My idea would be to put these on the rear and poke them out with spacers, get them in line with the arch!

Expensive however!

thinner bolts and nuts to go on to the bit that attach the coilovers to the hub to allow movement allowing the camber to shift..

Refurbing wheels later today :y:

  • Author

Yesterday I gave it a well deserved service, full oil change, filters and spark plugs

Bosh super 4's for the win, car runs so much smoother now!

  • Author

Decided after refurbing the wheels that either I need to do it properly, i.e take a long time stripping the laquer, polishing them up a lot and re laquering them, or I just respray them..

3 options of colour, first is white

second is black

and third is colour code, so respray them silver..

Or then, I could just refurb them polished...

Comments needed, I'm not sure what to do...

Edited by KieranYeh

Black looks pretty sweet dude, either that or silver I reckon 8-)

polish them :finger:

polish them :finger:

black centres with polished lip i think will look spot on, with these wheels

Cadbury purple with the very edge of the lip sanded down and polished if you get what I mean just my 2p

Car looks tidy aswell!!
