Shaun36 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Got some new wheels finally. 14's +8 offset. Got to sort what I'm going to do with the centre's, wheather ill got them painted same colour or not. May also possibly flip centres for the rear depending on how much they fill up the rear guards. (would get them polished obviously) Am also trying to find another set of struts to get adjustbales made up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No picture updates yet, have just got home for a couple of weeks so am taking the new wheels apart to get sandblasted and powdercoated and polished. Will give it another wash while I'm home and get some decent photos taken by someone with alot more knowledge of photography than myslef. Tried the wheel on the front without tires and looked pretty sharp. Thanks, Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun36 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Have had adjustables made up now, just waiting for new shocks. Have been painted quickly by the guy who made them but will do them properley before i put them in the car. Here is a couple of pics of them Have had my wheels apart to get the centers sand blasted. The blasting was too rough for the wheels to be painted as it still shows up the imperfections the sandblasting has left so will be sending them away to get powder coated. I had one painted silver just to see how it would come up/look sliver. Think they will look the part. Have only had half of the centre painted but here is some pics to get an idea what they will come up like. Left side has been painted the silver ill be getting the done in and right side it just primer/experimenting Here the far side has been painted (can see where is painted and where is not) Edited July 5, 2009 by Shaun36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun36 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Got 2 tyres fitted so threw them on the other day and finally got adjustables sorted so put one in tonight to see final height. Pics of when put two of the wheels on and testing height: Here is pics of the height it will sit at. got a pic with 17s on too for a laugh Still got to find 2 more tyres and sort starter motor as that has decided to pack up. Finally back from uni for the summer now though so should get most things done within a month fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally back from uni for the summer now though so should get most things done within a month fingers crossed Nice work mate. Have the wheels been powdercoated yet or are they still painted? I think you should do them in a darker colour like a sparkly charcoal :y: or BRIGHT ORANGE!! :y: (Or sell them to me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh-KE Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Nice wagon mate! Liking the 14s too... Maybe would look even better with centres flipped at the back? For extra dish. Either way keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun36 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Cheers guys. Still havent painted the centres, will get onto that tomorrow with some silver metallic spraypaint i got (only tempoary) until i can afford to get them powdercoated after i have done more important things. Yeah am thinking about flipping the center on the rears but will have to send them away to get polished by a pro if i want to do that. Slowly coming along. Have pulled starter motor out to test it and it seems thats working fine so will whip it back in and check the wiring plus add a few more earths to the engine.
