Default Massive long shot But..................

Has anyone got any Ford 17" alloys hanging around that I could borrow?

Want to get my wheels refurbed/darkened but there is no real space to leave the car at the Canvey place.

THINK I may possibly be able to help you there - I'll double check with Gooner this afternoon, but I'm quite certain we had a spare set down the shed - don't build your hopes - I'll let you know this afternoon

I must admit the Neils wheels did look are they still on your old Wagon Neil, might be worth checking them out before committing, I'm sure the captain wont mind

Dave, that was exactly what i had in mind, but John showed me a previously done wheel, with the black/flake and I loved it. Looks kinda antracite normally and then when the sun catches it, it gleams.

Mark, somebody i dare not name managed to badly damade two of them parking, so I still have them.

Are they 4 or 5 stud?
