  10. so after buying the above mentioned manky filthy wheels i have had a loooooong winter mission to get them sorted... gave them a wash off, still crappy. paint strippered the outside rims.. beat shit out of them to get the bolts out, then did it all again to get the centres out, they were REALLY badly corroded... then had the centres powder coated, the outers lathed to get rid of the pitting and corrosion, the spent about eleventy million years (approx) polishing them up... *-) still, don't think they came out too badly... anyway i'm bored and going home, more later.....
