Rota UK do some too. They also do a 15x9 in Grids which would look great with 225/50's. I think I'm going to wait and do a 5 stud conversion eventually.

Rivets. I think you were running a bigger wheel & tyre combo?

Nice work!
Looking at the pics, this one I like! Just because of the chrome type 1 mirrors, very cool detail on such a racer!

Love those wheels. I'd really like a set of dished ATS Classics in 15 x 8&9J.
Got some grills & kidney to replace the twins that this 316 had been spec'd with.
Just need to remove this bit to ensure maximum cooling.
Rally Prep are getting the engine ready and will be finishing the build.
Should be taking the rolling shell down to Cornwall in 5 weeks.

Didn't he race an 02 back in the day too?
I bought a pair of Bob's seats back in the early 90's, when I had a tii race car with turbo arches etc and thought they were really nice. I actually got this from a guy on the Kent coast as a bit of a gamble ages ago, but it's a fair bit wider than my old Sparco seat and fits me really well. I'm so chuffed to finally have a race seat that gives me confidence and doesn't cut the circulation like my old seat did.
