I had mine rerimmed years ago and I wasnt real pleased with how many balancers had to be used afterwoods , The rims came with the wheels and I was told they were new old stock imperial measurement rims that were the right fit.
the other two he couldnt find new rims to fit !!! because they were all metric so look into it Im sure there will be rims off something that will work but it might take some searching

Progress has been slow on the paint side due to bad weather & house work...
...I now have 70% of the car blocked back..hope to finish it off on Wednesday and add Seaforth Green back on..
The funny thing is the blocked back primer is shinier than the original paint!!

SunnyTim wrote:Good to see Scotty. I finished prep on RF guard, RF door and RR door today up to final guide
Then the wind blew over the panel stand the guard was sitting on, dented the guard
Fitted the drivers door (by myself none around, scratched the paint
Anyway I have broken it's back, just roof, RR quarter and boot to go into prime
I have about 3 hours spare each weekend, it takes 45 minutes to drive each way to where it is which means I have approximately 9 hours to get it in paint, registered, new exhaust, engine bay detail, mechanical tune etc before Narrandera.
Sweet
Sounds like a standard paint prep to me Tim...
something ALWAYS goes wrong
