I just got the wheels I have been searching for, a set of V5 meshie Simmons. I reckon they will look good when I make the centres white and polished outers against the dark blue car paint. It took over 2 years of looking to find the right set and boy was I glad to find them.
All the joy turned to fear when I went to bolt them on yesterday only to find the counterbore in the rims was 73mm whilst the jag hubs are 74mm. What to do? Machine all the wheel centres or machine all the hubs?
2 stubbies later I had a plan, a cunning plan at that. Scrounge around in the shed and found the antique Hipswell cylinder ridge remover, set it up and lubed it and enlarged the first rim bore in about 10 minutes. Talk about a sigh of relief.
Now if I can get it right in a relatively short time you'd think a wheel supplier would get it right even quicker.
I didn't get rewarded with any stubby coolers or caps for my inconvenience or ingenuity, but hey, I got the wheels I wanted on, I am a happy camper now.
