i have decided to have a little cull of the hoard. these wont fit on your bus but would look ace on water pumpers
there are basically two porsche boxster rear wheels 8.5j x 17 and two porsche 911 carrera wheels 9j x 17. these were fruit acid dipped to strip them back to bare metal without loosing the detailing around the valves. then they were fully sprayed in porsche graphite grey.
they have a full set of colour crested porsche caps detailed in the same colour
they have a full set of tyres fitted to them which are kumho ecsta 195 40 17 so are stretched for that euro look. only ran them on my golf for a few miles this summer. couple or small stone chips on the rear rim edges due to the extreme stretch but not noticable when fitted.
these wheels cost a fair bit to make as two sets required splitting to make them. add to the the caps tyres stripping and painting and you have a good few quid invested
£600 for the full set of wheels and tyres
i am based in notts 5 mins from j25 m1
