Yeah that's true I'll wait until wheels are fitted... Leaning towards burgundy/brown at the moment... :O

dodgey as place but the guy 'jimmy' is nice enough and for ~$25 a lip they've so far (from what i've seen) done a great job. also did the centre screw caps as well all for $130

ok time for some quick snaps - got some new bolt in valve stems today so chucked them on the lips, the old ones were rooted and not one place i've been to in melbourne has had any or even known what they were... so ebay it was.
a few shots of how the car sits now, had to raise it up a tad as i was scrubbing on the front sway bar... car looks to have a big, high booty but i swear its just unphotogenic

a before and after of the bolts...

and how the new wheels sit with the adapters...

Love the fitment of the wheels man!! They're going to look so good when they're fitted

left them in coke for a couple days, strained them (mum wasn't happy) using the kitchen strainer.. then put them in a bucket of boiling water and started polishing... one by one... by hand... great times were had by all.

I didn't think of coke! Did that clean up all the crap off the threads? (if yours had much crap on the threads)

Don't worry, I just finished cleaning/polishing up my RS bolts last week. Took over 10hrs! (infront of the Top Gear though, so not too bad)

Yeah most of it - also used an old toothbrush to get any other gunk out!

... Turned out to be dads. Probably a good idea I took it he was well overdue for a replacement...
