Yes its true, there's some wheels on the beast. After months and months of checking out different possibilities and pretty much always finding out that nothing was going to fit the beast I was starting to really lose patience.
I've ended up going with a mob up at Sefton, AGR wheels, they had a set of 17" wheels that would fit the 242 without spacers, so after going up and checking them out, I decided to settle on them.
Above is at AGR, putting the rims up against the car definitely sold me on them, they look reasonably good, and considering the difficulty in getting other rims, and the expense of custom ones, I think the right decision was made.
As with all things on this 242, nothing was easy. Apparently the nuts were on so tight that they had to end up using the truck gun to get them off, the dude above using it wasn't happy, going off at me for them being too tight lol.
Above are a few shots I took after they've been on for a couple of weeks. I said earlier that I thought the right decision had been made with them, but since then they have grown on me more, and I know the right decision was made. Even though they are 17" they look small on the car coz it's quite a big 2 door.
Anyway, that's the rim situation sorted. Hopefully won't have to worry about this for a long time.
