Right, got one all done and finished up, arch pulled to accomodate new offset and rear raised up a little bit so it doesnt scrub too much. Got a bit of an aircooled stance going on now, narrow and tucked front uber low, raised rear with low offset and some negative camber Very Happy

Also, notice the new ride height for the front? Thats why i have to notch my legs cause its that low haha.

Looks cool how did you do it cut the middle out and re-weld it the other side? All your car needs now is some yellow headlights and it will look spot on Very Happy

Yes mate, arc welded with bloody thick rods, even more weld than the factory put on them, all penetrates well and the centres are a press fit into the rim anyway, put the centre in the freezer and warmed the rim up, bashed them together, lined it all up on a hub and welded it together. Spot on.

Would be fully if i scraped to the show but tbh i reckon i'll go for the rolling look as i think the scraping rear is over rated haha.. If your following me you wanna be worrying about the road im digging up with my splitter and the cats eyes im hitting LOL

In a childs voice....

"if you hit me at 30 mph theres around an 80% chance i'll live. If you hit me with Tiz's mk2 8v theres a 100% chance his splitter will eat me for dinner"

THINK always deck your car

Finished product :

Deep Steels New051

God the arches are crappy but i did pull them with a pair of molegrips and beat them a little bit with a hammer and dolly then sprayed some random beige colour over them LOL... I will smooth them all off and make them nice eventually... oh wait i probably wont.

More pics in my daily thread of the wheels on the car.
