  1. I got the tyres stripped, asked tyre guy at work to keep them aside so I could put them back on he and said nope, they’re old and shit then promptly disposed of the tyres.

    I ended up doing a pick-a-part mission, and grabbing a rear hub then dropping the wheels and to an engineering shop and said make these fit that. 
    Picked them up a few days later and with my wallet lighter tried them on the car and was happy that they fitted. -I’ve got intentions of getting them dipped, the kerbing welded up and machined back to OEM edging, and then repainted/powder coated with new decals, but my budget does not allow for that at this present moment in time.

    I requested the tyre guy at work to find me some tyres to exemplify the go kart handling characteristics of the might K11 -we had settled on a set of Advan ad08rs but came to find his supplier had no stock. So ended up with a set of Yokohama Advan A539s in 175/60r14 79H -which were budget friendly and not a super low quality tyre like most else in the segment.

    proceeded to fit them to the alloys

  2. ALRIGHT AS I PROMISED.

    I found this set of wheels about 3 days after I’d told Alex I’d take the car -considering I’d been on and off hunting for cool 4x100 low budget wheels the whole time I had my AE92 as a daily and not had any luck makes me think the universe works in mysterious ways… 
     

    I had a mate in Christchurch pick them up for me and store them until I got down there to grab them, Nearly bought tyres to fit them for the drive home off his mate in chch - but had none on the shelf, so just lugged them home in the boot much to my wife’s delight…

    I got home and excitedly went to fit them only to find the centerbore was too small to fit a Nissan resulting in me sitting in the driveway pondering my decisions.
