I dont mind splitting costs on a room if your ok with that.
I will even take the single bed, I pity the poor people in the neighboring rooms. All that farting and snoreing X2
In regards to your wheels Mike, how wide/thick are the pin drive adaptors? If they are say 35mm wide would bolt on wheels have 35mm less offset than your wheels?
I do love the look of the rims without wheel nuts though.
AHHHHH all these decisions.

Thanks Mike re: posting pics from a htpp: link.
Will use in future.
And, no width of rubber is never enough as long as it is kept in proportion to the car.

Hi there Mike, I guess Melbournes liquid sunshine is holding up on getting the pics of your car outside.

Hi David,
I pushed the car out on the weekend but it was a bit of a dull day and I haven't got the hang of this new camera yet. I've brightened the pics up with photoshop but they still aren't too good.

Hi Mike,
wheels look great how did you work out offsets and how long did the order take.

I ordered the Wheels before Christmas so I guess it was a 4 month wait. He's not the speediest wheel builder but the finished product is very nice. Tom's been having a few health problems and that's slowed him down a bit. I think he's getting back on track now.
Working out the offsets... I got some offsets from Classic Revival for 17x8" and 17x9.5" rims initially but I wasn't 100% confident in the dimensions and how they would go on my car. Leeroy had a set of Toms wheels made up in these offsets and he let me borrow them. I checked the clearance on them whilst fitted to my car and tweeked the offset figures so I could fit 11" and 8" rims under the car with the pin drive adaptors. Measure, measure and measure again (It was a nervous 4 months wait).
Cheers
