Mk 3 Ford Capri - My restoration project - MK III

The standard 5.5j LS wheels on the car when I bought it
This one is the spare and quite tidy...
...unlike the ones actually on the car.
With the purchase of the car I got 5 "Laser" 4 Spokes. I'd not seen them, but bargained them into the price. They were quite corroded
Some work needed here
Using a wire brush on my drill blasted away all the crud, shite and brake dust and started layering up with primer.
These pictures make them look semi-reasonable, they are not! The surface is quite pitted, more sanding and spraying
High build primer
At this stage I was quite happy with the surface of the wheels and was looking to choose a siver paint to colour them.
Very smooth now. Nearly bought the paint then...
...these babies arrived.
5 Spoke 15" Revolutions
With road leagal slicks!!
and the best bit? I got them for free, well more payment for a website I built - F1-67.com
A quick clean
And this is how the car will look once completed (photochop), If I keep the colour glacier blue???
These are 6.5" rims with 195/55/15 tyres on and a -2" drop on the rear. The actual rear wheels will be 7" wide, I may have some rubbage...
They will come out a further 1/2 inch, at this point decided to raise the rear as it was far too low compared to the front, see underside for full story.
Now sitting on a -1" drop, much better, this is also leaving room for both the front and rear new springs to settle in.
Today started with sorting these, 195/55 tyres off...
...and the huge tyres from the rear...
...to this, the 7" rim with the 195/55 tryes on
so i just had to check to see if they would fit, quite wide!!
They fit, and with no rubbing, this picture is prior to the rear arch being replaced.
one word "DISH"
