I was thinking that earlier. The forum needs updating its several generations out of date now.

5 new wheels, caps, tyres and wheel nuts ordered from R & R Alloys. Black centres.

https://www.randr-alloys.co.uk/classic- ... ht-design/

Not a bad price tbh. 674.40 delivered as they have a Friday free shipping promotion. Must be because of the NEC show.

Just got to dig the car out of the garage :)..

Finally bought a set (or 3) bumpstops for the Midases. Hoping to fit these on the Convertible soon.
