I collected my hubs spinners and splines from the Beaulieu Autojumble for less than £100. Bought new bearings and discs from SNG and was given a set of wire wheels from my mate who had just bought a new set of chromes for his car. Had them sandblasted, painted and tuned for £200 so for about £400 I converted to wires. I then sold the hub caps, steel wheels and embellishers on ebay and near enough made my money back. I still have the old hubs so might sell them in the future and break even on the wire wheel conversion. I did the work in converting but had to use a mates hydraulic press to change the splines on the back as they were really tight.
