tried to fit my (almost) new 15" minilites only to find they don't clear the AP4pots. Would need 30mm spacers!

So eventually fitted tyres to the 17" rims I purchased with the wreck and hadn't gotten round to fitting tyres.

So the Minilites (6 x15) now for sale and the car looks like

Well done Mick...the aggressive slightly angular look of the wheels go with the more aggressive more angular bonnet bulge.....it's coordinated!

If you can't sell the minilites and want someone to take them off your hands.... wink

cheers Andy - I'll bear you in mind laugh

I hadn't noticed that the front and rear wheels have different offsets until I fitted the wheel nuts and the rears disappeared into the wheel - so I then found the rears are 18 and fronts 38 !!

I've gone for Toyo T1-R tyres

They look a million times better than what was there before! Quite like those wheels.

I believe they are 24 but will measure when I'm back from Chatsworth

The car looks well on those wheels Mick - much better than the last ones (if you don't mind me saying)
