Hi,

Sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section but guessed it was more of a styling question than technical

Anyway i am going from 14" steelies to 13" and wondered if the same rim was available in 13". The reason for the change is it is an autocross car and everyone recommends 13" for autocross.

anyway here is the wheel:

I bought it for ?100 and have had to do lots of work patching wholes in the floor and the slam panel(?), wing, etc. It would never have passed another MOT without lots of ? so i think it is gone to a better home than the scrappy :)

It'll be on the track in 2 weeks time :)

Almost finished , just fitted a 1 gallon fuel tank (where the battery usually is) and fitted a battery box inside the car (in passenger foot well)

Removing standard tank was a total bitch. then found a 2" hole in the top...

I will update my site tomorrow with today and tomorrows progress,

cheers

Just out of interest, how much do you recon i would get for 5 of the SR steelies? Tyres are useless though.

Just i'm thinking i may sell them as i will not be using them again.

I mangaed to get 4 13" steelies free from the scrappies, nice price.

cheers
