I managed to get a full set of 12 spokes from a chap near-by that had an accident with his TD Ultima. Got the set with tyres (6mm of tread) for £140 and jolly nice condition they're in. I stripped the tyres off, and found two of them not to be up-to standard! Hey-Ho. Got all four wheels powder-Coated gloss black for £220 including the centre-caps. Really nice job. Two new tyres on order, I'll fit and balance myself. I'm not sure the 'Gal' is pleased I have Three sets of wheels for the car!!!! They look feggin fantastis though, I'll try to post pics this weekend.

Good News buddy...................
Does this mean there's a set of 15" Steels going begging ?
I still need 4 more for my spare set of Gravel Tyres 
Cheers Dave

Aye Dave for sure. There's a bit of meat left in the tyres yet, I was intending runningthem for a wee while before bringing them across. When do you need them by?

Just got a few pics of the car with the powder-coated black alloys on today. The nearside photo's show one over exposed to see the wheels more readily. Enjoy.
Course you can see one of the three Ginger rascals supervising in the last one!
