Ken,

Interior is wicked, you must be really pleased with the outcome after all the hard work..and £££££

PS; Did you find any pics with the different wheels? also any update on the US company and the Fuch's??

the company in the states wanted $3000 and Paul stephens came in at £2k ...so I gave up and just purchased a set of CUP 2 alloys I'm having them powdercoted gloss black and then polishing the rims

will post some pic's shortly

Hmmmmmmm....that's a lot of money, but I think I would like a set if they are deep dished,

I have had these on for 9 years changed from teledials....

Now recently put these on, like your old ones Ken....

Just not 100% happy with the look, handling and driving..120% better..

I assume the first ones are 18"?
my car is late offset I'm guessing yours is early so you could get a set of Fuchs at a much better price.....than me

they would like look great on your car

Ken - As Andy hasn't replied I will!

Yes the first ones are 18", but no the others are late offset (52mm ish), so if your car is after '86 they are the same as Andy's.

Thanks Mike,

Yes it is an 1987 E reg - 1988 MY the plate is not the original my initials or Andy & Lin Watson also have Y4 ALW look good together!!

Fitted my Chrome plated striker plates for a bit of extra bling
