Got the wheels

The wheels arrived yesterday as promised and they are great!

They fit on the car perfectly (always a slight worry when you are ordering custom size and offset) and are welded really nicely. No problems at all with these wheels falling apart.

I started spraying a couple of them last night (they came raw, sand-blasted steel). Cleaned them first with acetone, then a couple coats of etching primer, then a couple of coats of semi-glass engine enamel.

It was a bit disappointing though, because the paint came out like "fuzz" in a few places, so I'll have to sand those areas down and re-spray. I think it'll look nice in the end though.

Oh, and the hub-caps I bought fit too - I love it when a plan comes together.
