Can anybody let me know if they have fitted temporary wheels to there kit so that they can move it about the garage easily while working on it,
The GTR is going in for a spray job and I wanted to get the wheels re-ferbed while its in the shop, to save on time, but the guy will still need to move the car about, any suggestions please.

You are quite good with your hands Russ ( O'er! ) and should have no problem knocking some plywood discs up, it has been done by many in the past and seems to work thumbup

I'm not sure how to post a link, but if you search on granada and wheels there is a thread suggesting these will fit.

Yes Kyle, got a paint guy lined up who is very knowlegable in the fiberglass world, and a really nice guy, who actually listenes and understands what you are trying to get across, who also has a lot of good ideas, and is really enthuastic about his work and ability. So here we go !
The work is going to take about 3 weeks, so I thought during that time I would get the wheels done as well, should all be ready for end of May.

Granada wheels will be the right stud pattern but I seem to remember they will not clear the calipers. You could drop the calipers off and tie them back to the chassis. An alternative would be to put them on back to front.
