Trialed dented and not very nice silver. Do you want a set of Disco steel rims?? I have some for was after £10 each
more idle curiosity-I'm deciding whether to put modulars I have into my conversion or leave it looking stock ( and risking 4 spinning wheels)
If they had been in need of shot blast and paint- I may have considered them- thanks for the disco wheel offer though but I have wheels.

Modulars are not great weak rims generally and IMO look cheap and nasty. Gotta go along way to beat an LR rim, or wolf rim but they do weigh alot rotating mass and all that. Hence the Rostyle rims Very very light compared to the others and not too bad strength wise.

Must have been a poor V8
137 hp is ****e,150 with efi is reasonable and 261+ stock is more acceptable dependant on ecu and cats binned and bigger downpipes
