Am over the moon my new(to me)... second hand 17s are here!!!

Am going to get them sand blasted and powder coated to remove the imprefections(quite a few not apparent in the pics).

BUT how do I remove the valve stems?? lol

They're nice, what are they ?

Take it your valve stems don't have a small nut on them then ? Nowhere to get a spanner on and loosen them off ?

Valve stems come off with a stanley knife. Or else get a pair of pliers and pull on them and they come out. Disposable.

They're Lenso's(I know cheap and crappy knock offs) but they're a knock off of Kahn RSS's but they're about 800 a corner from memory so I went for the cheap and cheerfull.

and yes Tim I know what pulling is...... like what could be done to a certain someones missing VR6 fuel pump....

I actually had a set of these(lensos) previously and they suited the mk2 down to a tee and I stupidly sold them, and been hunting a set even since.....

so how many different sets of wheels is this now?
lensos, bottle caps, simmons, bottle caps, lensos, lensos ?!

am I close? You change your wheels more than you change your undies!

I have excellent personal hygene!

Will be sticking with these for some time.......unless I win lotto in which case I'd shell out for the real deal Kahns.....

and yes would still drive the mk2 regularly if I won lotto.

Tim where's ur VR6 fuel pump???
