The look class but if you really wanted a set Carl from Force Racing could make some.... not cheap though

http://www.force-racing.co.uk/wheels-13/

Paul "Merlin" has a set of his 10" on his MK1... savage wheels

Oh and keep up the good work

Markie

[The Marcos Graveyard]

I doubt that they are Force wheels, more than likely they are Compomotive

[hughesmarkie]

Agreed TMG, sorry I was saying Carl can customise and copy ythe wheels for you

they do look nice though dont they

[mustard]

cool vid geoff..

they are cool... but before i even go looking i know there well out of my price range... lol

[mustard]

steven

[mustard]

steven your welcome to come down saturday... i hope to have it in primer by sat eve... so it'll be balls out sat to get all the welding finished...

[StanO'Toole]

It must have rusted more since Kenny and myself were down because it wasn't that bad! Fairs f**ks to for sticking it out. I think the wheels in silver would look well with the black.

[PAUL D]

jasus good work paul must be getin good at the weldin at this stage
also round sat if need a hand give us a shout

[BlackSe7en]

steven

[mustard]

i have the day off tomo, so i need to keep my head up... lol

i need to get it finished and out of the garage, as dad needs the space for one of his projects...

ya up for givin me a hand sat ste???

[mustard]

needed a little extra push today... so got the wheels off my sportspack and onto the metro... but had had no wheels to put onto the sportspack.... they would'd go on normally cause the wheels wer so close to the shocks...





i think i can go a bit lower once i roll the arches aswell...





and then i got the finger out and started doin the rear whell arche that i found out about last night... i really need to improve my welding... i think its getting worse lol
