MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Pic request: CB MGB w/Omni Flares

I'm planning to use Omni/Horizon fender flares. I've run a bunch of nubmers to figure out what combinations of wheel size/offset & tire sizes will put them where I want them... I have a couple of wheel choices picked out but want to get a feel for what they'll look like on the car... problem is I don't have my fender flares on yet, so my car doesn't help... anyone have a good side shot of a chrome bumper (or RB converted to chrome) MGB with Omni/Horizon fender flares? If I can get a good picture (preferably roadster vs. GT & preferably a side or mostly side view but i'll work with what I can get), I can use my photo software to paste various wheels on it to see what they'll look like.

my email is robert.ficalora@hp.com

Thanks in advance for the help.

I've never heard of using Omni or Rabbit flares before. Never even occured to me. Can anyone post pictures on the net or, failing that, email me some. I just happen to have a set of flares from an '84 Rabbit GTI lying around. For anyone not from North America, the Rabbit GTI = MkI VW Golf GTI.

Thanks

Jim, yes I got the pics... I thought i replied to the email?? Anyway, your car is great. I am still hoping to get a straigh on side shot from someone -- e.g., looking straight at the side of the car. That way I can load it into Microsoft Picture It! & paste different wheels over the wheels that are on the original pic to get a feel for what they'll look like.
