Loving the Jupiters, they are a great and underrated wheel.  And Meteors too if you can find them.

 

A mate of mine had them on a minivan in the late 80's-early 90's and people were constantly asking to buy them off him.

Sorry people I havent been able to get anymore done on the car due to the daily driver needing an exhaust and been working flat out... I have found a pic tho of what the wheels will look like once then are back to their original colours etc :)

Cool, cheers.

 

Yeah, standard arches do look good with wider wheels IMO, makes them look meaner haha.
