Firstly, I love black wheels on light coloured cars and yours is no exception. Better than the originals IMHO.
Secondly, am I the only one cringing at the sight of two alloys stood upright on a hard paved surface?!
Very high risk strategy!
:? They've both got rim protection . . . and I'm afraid we use our Zed so much there's little hope for the wheels - we do our best but driving comes before worries over finish - my wife's a farmer's daughter - they have very different attitudes to things like that :lol:

I'm with Steph, those black wheels look the business against you grey Zed
(and yes you're very lucky - she's even smiling)
See, I think the black looks a bit Chavy . . . .prefer the silver - Steph thinks it looks more stealthy.

I know the black isn't your thing Paul but they do look great on the car & especially so on the larger profiles
I'm sure you've covered enough Z miles to feel the improvement going from 35 & 40 profile to 40-45 & if any non Ms ever come my way in the future id waste no time in fitting the ///M sized rubber for looks & for comfort
I'm with you mr wilks over the rubber but it just depends whether I can live with the move to Vreds - we shall see.

The black looks great next to the pink wellies
You're not the first to comment on the Pink wellies - they are 'Hunters' too - surprised they did them in this colour

It's always nice to get some assistance with the car, mrs smartbear even used to wash her z3 occasionally to help me out
Nice one
Makes for a much nicer day but Steph does tend to leave the cleaning of the Zed to me . . .as I've said above, she has a very different view and just likes being out in it - not concerned about it being shiny and clean :lol:
AlienZed said:
Great to see Steph helping, a great advertisement for overalls an pink wellies,
Reminds me of Mrs M she's always there when I need her.
M
I guess if she did this more often she'd have her own overalls - these are mine and a bit big for her :lol: The wellies were her idea :lol:

That's like one of those spot the error pictures:
2 wheels stood upright
Jack and no axle stand
tin of something on top of the wheel
table with only 2 legs with 2nd wheel on it - look carefully
wife stood near a bucket of water for comedy accident moment
wife stood near a wheel for not so funny accident
Like facing a health and safety committee, posting on this forum . . . . :lol:
Err we're old enough to manage thanks and I've always changed wheels without axle stands (they do get used if I'm under or working on the car for longer periods though)
Four legs on the table jeeper
- this does get used a lot to keep things at hand when cleaning the Zed.
Tin of something is Copper Grease for the hub faces.
Judging by your other posts jeeper, it's clear you do lots of work and mechanical magic on your cars (and large and heavy ones at that) so some important points and when I eventually become a Quickfit Fitter I'll be sure to keep them in mind.
P.S. No injuries or accidents were caused during the execution of this task, we both survived

once youve gone black you'll never go back - apparently
You can say that, I couldn't possibly comment :roll: , Still prefer silver (I think it comes from being a teenager through the 70s when the first Alloy wheels started to appear - anyone remember Wolfrace wheels?)
The black wheels look good !.
