Winter wheels

[Smartbear]

Garage now cleaned up after swapping over to my 17” winters & repainting the disc hubs, Veemanns stacked ready for next spring. Just needs to pass the MOT next Monday and all will be well

You've probably mentioned it before, but what paint did you use on the hubs?
Sprayed or brushed?

Is yours a pre or post facelift version?

Lidl metal paint, brush painted on. I’ve used it for a few years now with no issues with the heat

At least you’re excused the task of fitting the hardtop these days Stu

Is it the pressure sensors that make you ask? I bought the wheels with the sensors already fitted but my car doesn’t need them (uses the abs sensor & reluctor rings) :?

Really? Mine is post facelift but uses the TPMS sensors. It's a 64, so did they change that later?

I think the changeover was in 2014 sometime? :?

March 2014 TPMS replaced TFM, can be retrofited, if you have ditched the run flats then TPM is probably as good as TPMS, would be hell of a price and a buggar to code I bet..
