When are these wheels going on the car then? I'm after a set of Vitesse wheels for Jinx and am curious to see if yours go straight on, and with which tyre size!

Good god... I thought sourcing the wheel nuts was going to be the hard bit :shock:
So, what did you end up doing Richard? To skim or not to skim, SD1 Grease caps? and which studs and nuts to go for?
I've owned more cars than I care to remember over the years and most have worn non-standard wheels of some description, but I've never known it be so difficult to put some bigger boots on a car!
