Ok Tony,

now the critical question, are u going to go on the track? Or will u use it just for the road...? If just for the road, then i have a couple of sets of 10" springs in the garage somewhere :-)

what exact tyre size do you have?

tony,
get standard 15in rover wheels off ebay. these will pass SVA no worries.
wait until after SVA to get 16in aftermarket jobbies...

same goes for the steering wheel...fit the standard rover wheel...
