New shoes

I finally found some skinny white walls on e-bay for a decent price. 5 wheels already on valiant rims (old stud pattern). Cleaned 'em up and fitted the dodge hubcap. Looks good!
Discovered one small problem though. The stud pattern is the same as the VIP which is good, the rims however are off a car that didn't have disc brakes! As a result of this when I mocked up the front wheel, the inside of the rim sits up hard against the brake caliper!
Currently the original VIP rims are at the sand blasters and then going to the powdercoaters. Once all cleaned up I'll have to get the tyres changed over.
