Got everything off and spent the week cleaning, painting, etc and put everything back ready to refit the wheels:
Now today was my birthday and Mrs ZC kindly bought some of these:
Now I've got the original 16" wheels and the centres are slightly different:
Oh dear how do I explain to Mrs ZC that they won't fit
Fortunately I found a solution to the problem as I think that they might just fit these:-
Yes after 2 years sitting at the back of the garage I finally got round to getting the 5 spoke wheels powder coated at the same place that Aceman used last year. So all good so far BUT some of the more observant members of ZRoadster might notice that something is missing from the next picture:
When we were putting the last wheel into the car before setting off to get the tyres fitted (Falken 912's 225x45x17 Fr 245x40x17 Rr) I noticed a bit of dust. Unfortunately it wasn't dust
It was a black mark and although it was probably less than 2mm it was on the outside face and very noticeable. To be fair the guy at K&M immediately said that he would re-do the wheel entirely but it won't be ready until next Wednesday. 
. He also said that if I brought the tyre he would fit it to save me another journey in to Wakefield so although disappointing at least its being sorted out. So almost there:
I've put one of the old wheels back on the front n/s so I can move it around for washing, polishing and waxing this weekend.
its surprising how the small details can make all the difference, like replacing tired wheel centre caps etc 
Nice car silver is the best colour.
