          Start of the refurb process, sanded down, primer, gloss white with matching centre caps, then balanced and wrapped in Toyo T1-R rubber.

            This is where I am now, relating to the spec above:

















            Thanks for looking, next step is figuring out how to drop it 10/15mm more all round, as well as on the look out for some 8"/8.5" wheels.
            Keeping these for atleast track wheels, with them only weighing 4kg each.

            Cheers
