Cheers guys, nice one. They came with powdercoated dark blue centres and black rims, which didn't do justice to the huge dish on the rears. I've flatted them back and sprayed them, but stuck with the two tone idea as my last ones were all one colour and I wasn't too keen.

Bri is kindly collecting it for ME.
It second hand but supposed to be in VGC.
The tailgate's not mint but will be going under the knife (welder) anyway, so no worries. And it was cheap.

Well I finally got my front wheels on;

Still need to finish re-spraying the rears though.

Found that the brake discs look like something dragged up with the Mary Rose,
so new discs, pads, shoes and cylinders soon.

Cheers Rob,
and thanks Andy. I am running with the existing 235/65s on the back which came with the wheels,
but getting 265/50s from Browny :twisted: I bought some 175/60s for the front as they had 70s on.
