Cheers mate, your right it is cleaner than the body! I'd rather have the underside and mechanicals fresh and in good order than spend money making it look nice on the body. Just can't wait to see the MOT mans face when he looks underneath :shock:

They look similar to SSR RACING JILBA.
What size and offset, and tyre size also?
TBH I'm not sure I'd say there a copy of them wheels, all I know is there 15 x 7j et25 and on 185/60/15 hankook tyres, I bought them off eBay as I just loved the look of them! They are one piece wheels but look like 3 piece wheels
I saw a similar set on Retro Rides a few months back. They had red centers as well. Wish I'd bought them now, they look mighty fine.

They might have been off retro rides, I got them off eBay from Bournemouth way and they was off a Nissan bluebird of all things! He wasn't sure on the offset so it was a gamble but they sit just nice. I think they suit the car really well.

Well the damaged red dash is out ready for new underlay to be fitted prior to a series 3 black/grey interior to be fitted and a general clean and fettle upon refitting to try and rid the old car smell too! More pics soon
