Looking good as always Nikdev.

So whats your secret of cleaning up your wheels? I've got a pair of Allycats sitting in my shed looking rather sorry for themselves. I'd give them a go myself but getting between all the fiddly spokes looks to be a right ball ache!

Whats the offset on yours, mine have Vauxhall centers and i think they are 8"'s but when i tried them on they were well past the arches, maybe it's just clever tyre choice?

Anyway, keep us updated :D

The gray ones are powdercoated so they are super esay to keep clean, just water and soap :D
My allycats are et-10 or something like that its pretty standard for the 8x13 allycats. And yes the go out past the arches, thats why my arches are rolled and I run on stretched tires 175/60 i my choice!
