Hi guys, keeping it short and sweet. I'm not looking for anything perfect, just straight and buckle free wheels and tyres for my a class. I'm happy to refurbish them if need be. I live in the Manchester area and can collect from say as far as 50 to 70 miles. I have a budget of £150 but...

That does look a lot better : )

From the voice of experience...buy a simple cree torch and that will show you everything you need to see. I bought a Laser branded one years ago and still use it to this day with perfect results. Cost me about £20. You simply don't need anything else to get the job done

Hi Calcifer, did you get yourself sorted?

Hi Brian, reading this thread...if you didn't want to go the full hog of taking your wheels off and cleaning them, if you have a good wheel brush (cone type that goes in between spokes) and a non acid based cleaner then you can keep your wheels at a "9" in effect. A further tip is to spray your...

Looks great Nice colour too. I like the fact it's a plain van, non colour coded bumpers etc, not many people invest the time and money to keep them looking great. I prefer super tidy everyday vehicles over flash motors...you can appreciate the work that's gone into it
