thanks guys for the info, i will contact them next week as soon as i can get my set back from the other place.

Chris it is going fine, i knocked back the timing slightly and it doesnt ping now.
I really need to get the suspension sorted out thou, new shocks , new front springs, and get the stupid lowering blocks out from the rear end, as its kinda scary to drive at the moment.

I had a set of wheels done from the guys you are talking about @ Warwick farm about 15 years ago. I had them widen a set of factory chev rally wheels to 8" & chrome them. They did do a good job & were cheap. I then went back to them 6 or 7 years ago to have another set done but this time just painted black for the drags & I do remember finding them a little harder to deal with but they still did a decent job.
Another place I have heard of that does them is Top Tyres on Sunnyholt Rd @ Blacktown. I have not had anything done by them so cant comment on their work.

I too had the same some what unfriendly experiance with those guys at Warwick farm. What I thought was a fairly straight forward job was just too hard for them. No problem , see ya later. Went  home and did it myself. Years later I needed some alloy widenned , little more tricky . Every body I spoke to adviced me to go to Neal's Wheels. Good old fasion service, got exactly what I asked for, no bodgy back yard stuff, totally legal and totally safe. Would not think twice about using them again and I am one fussy bugger.
