i was reading up onto tryna harden the paint, as saw the trick with putting them in the oven for a bit, i just tried it out for 5 mins on lowest setting and the paint heated up and has gone alot smoother!

will be doing the other 2 wheels at the weekend, and then tyres to be fitted mid next week

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Could you get away with 195s? With maybe a 45 tyre wall? Have you had to flare the arches? Or just fold the lip upwards?

Going to look awesome matey.

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

You can get away with 195 45 as ollie on here is running them and he had to roll and flare his arches, mine are rolled but not flattened right back.

Phone this guy and ask:

Sheer Class Tyres, Blackfen: 020 8294 0777

They're a bit ghetto there and into all sorts of wheels etc, (spinners and things) but they may do stretching!

Tyres are on the wheels!!! Went down to style dynamics in Middlesex, great work by them! 2 wheels are still silver and will start spraying them today.
