Those of you in the UK may well remember the Hamlet ad....

Well I found some big tyres 18 months ago and have been waiting for the right wheels/rims.

A whole £5.50 got me these bad boys

13 inch tyres on 10.5 inch rims. Unfortunately the offset was way out so they needed surgery.

The welds were cut through

A gauge was made to set the offset

All welded up

And waiting for some paint, with the tyres alongside

Busy week ahead what with work and the meet down in Ardingly, hopefully I'll get them painted and fitted soon!

  If size matters you are the king, what are they going on?

I think they are going on my C-101, though its narrowing my options for which gateways I can get through :D

Yes the old advert, as soon as I saw the wheels it came to mind :)

Don't forget your smokes.

Nice first photo Mark... Where did you take it?

 

Having seen these wheels first hand, I can't wait to see them fitted... Massive isn't the word 

[meadowfield 2,545]

Well, got them painted

Not terribly hard to get onto the rims with lots of soap, but very hard to get air into... Didn't fancy the ice road truckers method - lighter fluid or ether. So went for the ratchet straps.

And once inflated they look like this! Voila...

Just in case the weather turns this weekend for Ardingly, thought I'd try them on my car

Looks like your white was a shade off Mark.
