Pics of my van with new wheels

I had a drive over to otley today , beautifull part of the country any way had a chance to take a few piccys of the wagon. i know it could have done with a wash !!

Image

I got the wheels at the begining of the week and had a bit of a game putting them on because i am a bit stupid lol.
They came with a set of bolts that had like a chrome cover over them, i thought initially that the covers should pop off leaving the bolt but i tried for ages to get the bas***** off and they wouldnt budge. so i got a socket that fitted over the lot and put em on. suffice to say they weren't on right!!

It took me a while to figure out how to get the covers off and when i did i binned em!!

Image

Any way there on now and look ace i think. there is a slight problem with a few wheels where the laquer has got water under it and looks a bit whitish. I 'll get em refurbed when i can afford it, Has any one had a go at refurbing these wheels themselves??

Thanks for all the compliments on the van!!

Yep the wheels were from leicester off ebay, nice guy who sold them, he had the cleanest 52 plate tranny i had ever seen 34k on the clock :shock: .

I would have thought that they were all the same width but i am not sure, i saw the set on ebay with the bigger tyres on (215 70 16 i think) but dont know if those rims were any wider.

cheers
