Looking good Rob, do they offer a tyre removal/refit option or do they want bare wheels only?

Cheers, they do have a tyre machine but they’ve only just received it & the owner isn’t confident enough to offer the service yet!
They can get it done but it added £60 to the cost-I’ve found a local place that does removal/refitting/balancing for £10 a wheel, winner winner chicken dinner.

This place is only about an hour and 10 mins from me, so probably a lot less hassle than the place in Birmingham. More expensive, but probably worth it for the reduced travel time and general agro :thumbsup:

What colour are they Roberto?
They look very much like 'Orbit Grey' but difficult to tell on my cheapo PC monitor. :)
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I was looking at ferric grey but these were a shade darker than that
