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

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.
