Lovely work Tony. Nice and clean under there too. I wish I lived somewhere like that. Road salt here in winter kills British cars. I'm hoping to have mine blasted underneath and wax oiled and under sealed.

Bought a second set of wheels. 18x8.5/9.5 +35 all around. Specs are kind of weak but I picked them up for $300. I need thinner lug nuts though so I couldn't mount them just yet.

Picked these up. Carlsson 1/5. Same wheels currently on my car only rears are an inch wider. Little refinish project. Theyre in pretty rough shape, i plan on either full brused with clear or just a brilliant silver powder coat...possibly a candy red center cap...maybe candy brandy wine? Pretty cool, still have the orig metal center caps.

pretty nice.... I'll probably end up installing my Moog Poly sway bushings for the front to match the rear... I have the stock rubber TRD that came with the bar,...

nope, I'm in southern California. Mine are 5x112 also, running adaptec adapters 20mm/30mm to make up for the weak offsets still got a good 10mm of room to go too. Should hop on them its a good subtle wheel flows well on the GS! Well made too
