Hello to all
I have finished the road wheels and painted them their final coat for the moment ,i have started to put the tyres on here,s a pic of one

As i was doing this i thought about the hub caps ,while i have been painting the wheels i noticed the some of the top threds were slightly curled over (this has probably happend when they went through the cleaning proses after being machined) so i tried one of the hub caps ,it didnt fit.Here,s some pics of what i talking about

if you look on the right hand side at one o clock the very top of the threds you should be able to see a dip in the thred,it is very thin at this point and quit soft,here,s another wheel

this one has to showing at eleven and one o clock.The caps were proving very difficult to fit ,so i taped two of the holes in the hub cap with m3 thred and put two cap heads in for the moment see pics

this helped me screw them in mutch better and help straighten the damaged part of the thred,not all the wheels but i would say agood percentage sufferd from this . Im glad to say that they are all ok now

so i can get on with the tyres. I havent decided what to bolts to put in the hub caps (cap heads /dome heads or hex heads will have a think and see what ive got . Hope this will be useful to some of you.
best wishes to all nick
