Yes will probably change them over this weekend or maybe next, don't want to run up against Kryton's new Porsche on the 1st :D

Haven't quite figured out how to tighten the bolts on the front spacers yet without rotating the disc's.....anybody?

It might be my imagination, but as the temperature gets into double figures, my car feels a tad woolly on the winters, the changeover cannot come soon enough for me.

Yup, getting nails (in the tyres) removed at ATS and repaired tomorrow, and at then I am just going to get them to awap the wheels. £25 each wheel to repair, and £25 to swap the wheels. Seems reasonable to me... Damn sight cheaper than £300 to £400 for new tyres. Fingers crossed they can repair them :cry:

I saw this date and thought, that seems familiar... that's the day Kryton gets his new Porker. Can't be having your gorgeous rims overshadowed by another marque sars (no matter how nice it is) :wink:
:lol: I like that very good :)

Not I - still glorious sunshine down here... But TBH, with the weather we've had your winters would probably be next to useless by now because of the wear, wouldn't they ?

Put them back on jaRED' s red zed last night - car and wheels were in a warm integral garage anyway :) 45 mins well spent when I diverted off the stationary A roads into a housing estate to get around some stuck lorrys in Bradford - don't tell the mrs but think I might have ploughed my way through some of the deeper / slushier stuff ...
Blue Z4C now long gone, as is it's replacement, and the Red Zed's gone too.. now piloting a rather tasty Carmine flat6
