Can Alvin's post that says "I failed" be removed so I can sleep tonight?

Great Alvin - I thought there might have been a cosmic shift in the space time continuum if you didn't have a Roadster-related photo.

Fun stuff guys! To be honest, they look a little busy to me now, at least with the white stripe tires (well done Alvin!). In my case I would be doing some accent painting to get some separation and definition. And Alp is right, there are a few different versions. The word is out there though... If someone comes across some 14-15s I'd be interested!

Also, are the typical wheels we're running 6.5 inch width? Would a 195-205 50-60 tire work on the 5.5?

This is a nice pic of one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/triumph-fr ... 136521340/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I would likely paint the 4 spokes with the bolts gold, leave the rest black including the lugs, to follow the "theme" of my car. Would kinda look like those 4spoke wheels James has for his 67 2000 but be different.

I actually prefer the 4 bolt over the 5. I see they make them for VW patterns (5 bolt).

There are many roadsters on the road in Vancouver area. I can name a couple of dozen but I've never seen your car on the road Alp.

mine will never be on the road. That way I can control the rust factor...lol In all the years in vancouver I can count on one hand (and have a few finers left over) how many roadsters I have seen on the road here. If it weren't for the local car shows I would be very surpirsed to see one driving around. I know of a few but they are like mine....garage art
