Ok, this will be the juicy picture thread of my 33's to go on.

I picked up the Chrome wheels from Sir Banshee on Sunday, £50 quid for the lot, they looked a little tatty but not as bad as I had suspected.

Since this morning at work our valeter has been going at them! :eek:

Needless to say they are not as new, but getting pretty close, alot of the buried in rust and grime has been removed! :clap

Definately a bargain from Banshee, he might wanna resell them at £50 each :p

I will snap some pictures soon to let you guys have a look.

The 33" KM2's should arrive at the tyre place tomorrow, then its just a case of getting them fitted.

ONE PROBLEM I might have is the wheel nuts, as I had to bin the original ones for my alloys that I have now... Dont suppose anyone has a spare 24 wheels nuts sitting around :nenau :augie

Actually this may be tricky as they are chrome plated, problem is the spray wont stick. Even getting the chrome plating off will be tricky :nenau

I'm in no hurry, they will be covered in mud.

Got a chrome silver powder in at work you could do your bumpers in for the full bling look :lol
Second terrano I bought had chrome steelies on just like them you have bought.
First job was paint the dish black as it was badly rusted up.
Left the centre chrome. Looked nice I thought.

I guess you didn't use a paintbrush and hammerite? That would be my plan :lol peeps at work told me the paint wont stick to the chrome.

As there was more rust than chrome I just sanded them down and used a special primer for chrome made by international paints.
Lasted a good few years :thumb2

I used to have a push to start button on the mr2.

With the diesel though you would need a button for ignition surely, one to warm the plugs :naughty
