General Thoughts on the new alloys
Yay definitely! look a bit far out though, do those tyres fit under the arches?
Does this mean you found a fourth aswell?

Very nice... -- they really suit it...! 
Look okay, though whenever I see those alloys I'm amazed that they are balanced despite two massive chunks out of them !

Ermm still looking. Perhaps a certain Mr Aston Martin would care to part with his :idea: I'm pretty certain now that despite the lower offset the rims are fine but the tyres are definitely not. They are 205/60s and protrude at the front and are mad max at the back.

Thought they looked a bit enormous. They'll look fab with some sensible rubber.
Gets my vote..
Yes, they suit the car.
They get a from me, very period for the car.
What colour will they be, I'm thinking same white as the body colour.

White would be in keeping as the wheeltrims would have been white originally but still veering towards silver grey. Getting impatient for it to be done tbh. Was thinking of buying these

and then flogging the odd ones on ebay. After all I was enough of a donut to buy odd alloys so hopefully there are more donuts like me

Close for me if you want them collected.
Or if you're quick these aren't far away from me either for half the price. Last half hour though!

PM me the info if you want me to pick up What we do after that is a poser as the Panda express gets a bit thin between thee & me but I can stash for a bit if needs be until I'm heading north again. (or I could see when father in law's heading up again as he does random laps of Scotland for fun)

Look fantastic. Love them
Well they've got this far:
I'll just stash them in the garage till we can do the next stage...oh hang on....... I will get them in there. Promise.
The rims look pretty good from what I've seen, but grotty finish. They'll need some love. Tyres.....might be original:yuck: Be great when they're done. Interestingly they're made by FPS which is the same manufacturer as the pepperpot rims I've had on Grumbleweed.

Thank you so much for this Andrew,
I'm just sorry the Lancia is being bad> perhaps thats why one of the wheel bearings has eaten itself, some sort sort of organ rejection of the existing wheels.
I checked one of the existing wheel lying round my flat it says FPS too. FPS: Fratelli Pedrini Sarezzo according to my google search
Very nice wheels. Crazy looking trad pattern on those tyres

Been making merry with the paint. Just wondered if people think the Gold is working, ones painted Ford solar Gold and the browner of the two is Nissan Gold. Not convinced by either so far tbh.
The original Gold paint (in the group shot) seems much brighter and less plastic looking. Any suggestions on a Gold that would look like the original (knackered) paint?

I actually really like the Ford one... -- but it does look a little matt/satiny; and my feeling is they should be a little more shiny....
