Well.. What to do when you cant spend a lot but is bored of the wheels around?

You take a set you are stuck with and make a custom set.

Still more cutting to be done! But a lot was accomplished!

Engine is out of customs and wainting for transport to the warehouse :)

Thats madness with them wheels haha!!

Cant wait to see what they turn out like!

If you get them all perfectly balanced then you are some man!

uww wowwww! whats your plans for the centre then, with them being 5 stud and that.....

Well cool! :)

Epic!

Been done plenty of times before- I'm doing one myself, the offset looks massive on that wheel though- it will fit ok wont it? id hate to see you do it and then find it wont fit. i know you can change lips and barrels but it thats costly.

Fuck yeah

I have room to cut the back.. And i will be using small lips! The face may poke a little but the lip and tire will be tucked in!

Fuck yeah

I'm getting the engine tomorrow! Car will be towed where it needs to be for the swap! And since it will be at my friend's shop.. We will use the powdercoating machine for a few bits :)

The facility:

With welding machines.. Powdercoating room.. Polishing room.. Sandblasting room.. The possibilities are endless! :)

Only imports but there are more over there than you might guess. I know there is at least 3 MK2's and 5 MK1s.
