Wheels are finally rolling!

So my new wheels are finally on!

It's been a long time coming, but amidst the hundreds of bolts that Father Christmas brought down the chimney, and the copious amounts of tigerseal that now adorns most of my clothes; the wheels are finally built and on the car.

If I said I couldn't be happier however, I'd be lying.

After getting 3MMs machined off of the front spacers, the fronts sit flush with the arches giving me full lock without any rubbing whatsoever. Definitely an achievement on a car tucking a considerable amount of tyre on a 9j wheel!

But the rears are where the problems lie. They sit a smidge too far out for my liking, and at et12 without spacers, it's not a simple task of bringing them in! Fortunately the OZ backpads have been VERY overmade with a backpad that is almost 60mm thick, so the plan is to get some metal machined off and have the rear wheels sitting where I want them to be.

I don't want to let that overshadow the overall look of the car though, because I'm completely in love with how the wheels look in this car! They've exceeded my expectations by far, and owning my all time favourite wheels feels amazing. Having to clean them pretty much every day.. not so amazing. But it's more than worth the upkeep.

I'm thorougly enjoying driving around at the moment with beautiful summer-like weather we've been having this easter. I wouldn't be surprised if this is our early summer, but if that ends up ringing true you didn't read it here first ;).
