Oddjob:
The trouble is Roo the pics you're showing look like the rims are actually the right size, surely the tyres that came off them would tell you what the size is, unless of course you're referring to the width of the rim and not the rim size like 19 and 18" as they are supposed to be.
The new rims are nice, maybe the spokes you've already bought will fit them?
Oh and it was me saying you're being negative, it was a comment to say, don't look on the dark side, look at what you need to fix the problem, look at it as an opportunity, a chance to shine, to show that you're not defeated by a little set back. The initial post really did read like you'd been defeated by the problem and started to give up, that would be a shame and not the person I think you are.
Chin up mate.

Too thin, yes. the spokes will fit the new rims but they're zinc plated and I'm not spending good money on these rims and then stick those on, it'll look crap and they rust when you turn yer back and i dont want to do it twice...........back in a min gotta dash out to the shed..........

Sadly Matt Nathan is having 'chipping' issues after polishong so hasn't quite cracked the process and is experimenting further but had a good chat with the chap recommended at CAMCOAT, what a cool bloke, super helpful!
Sent me links to process, examples of work hes done etc and was cool to collect them and everything so I'm hopefully sorting them out next week and getting them sent off. £260 plus the Vodka & Tonic. Cheaper than chrome and better than the billion hours of 'mental white noise' sanding them down.....(if there was enough metal left), in a cold shed 8)
Didnt think that was too out of sorts and the results and process look fantastic. I shall report the results up on here but liking this aready tbh.
Cheers Ken, top lead and a 'reet problem fettler' that is.
As ever, you ledge ;)
