Car is still up on axle stands, but I fitted the wheels up.
they have a fairly mild +5.5 offset, which is good as no guard rubbage, and
can put a few mm of spacers in as required.

Don't like the blasted centres, so will paint them probably a gunmetal colour
(i dont really like gold centres, as looks too common)

They look pretty good, didnt' really want to post pics till its lowered, as looks
embarassingly high, but you get the idea below...

thought it would be OK, but if cant hold oil when its static, not looking good
for it starts rotating!
If it turns out to be the yoke, what about "Speedy sleeving" it?
