Hoping i get the phone call today to say she’s ready , not much choice of tyre to get really if she’s back today I might give her a blast to bed the wheels in fir winter
I will keep you posted
That's part of the reason I went for 15's more tyre choice and cheaper.
I might have to do that soon, Falkens are OK and but I've found the Nankangs Econex better personally - was looking at these the other day to save me doing all the tyre writing, but cost a fortune!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/382976446125?c ... m8EALw_wcB

Currently full up and no more space but I still want a 2.8...
Probably go for a set of 15x7 RS4's next time unless 13" are a resonable price.
Not cheap at all, but I need the white writing!!
I love my deep dish wheels so will be a shame to have to get something else, but more and more it looks like I have no choice

If the wheels are being powdercoated, make sure you check your wheel nuts for tightness every 100 miles or so, mine were coming a little loose more than once.
When the nut has got through the powdercoat it will be fine and stay tight
A little update . So got the call wheels done got there and thought great will show you a picture . Payed don’t ask how much .......
took her up the road and got the 45mph wheel wobble...o pants so back I go .
Really nice they take it in and I am waiting with that old boy who comes to shows with me .
Then a lady comes out and says NASA we have a problem the bloke dropped my Center cap so it’s got to be done again . And guess what I have ordered some more Center stickers from Ian .
Hi Jason,
The wheels look really good! I think you'll be happier with a powdercoated finish as it's much more resilient than painting.
It's a bit of a pain about the centrecap, but at least they didn't just slap it back on and hope you wouldn't notice.
Yes one of these things I spent ages once getting a clock gear straight only to see it shoot across the floor after a few choice words and a cup of tea you start again . But as you say Andrew at least it will be right . I noticed a sign saying I had to tighten my nuts after 30 miles I thought Christ with my legs and back it may be a few years before I do that
Yes I should have had them 15” but I do like the 13” as she drives so well .
Cheers Andy yes well pleased Mr Andrew said go powder coated and it’s a lot better then painted as that’s what I think they were .
On all the leaflets in bold writing just use soapy water .
