CPall Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Rose passed her MOT yesterday! Another year of legality hahahowever, two tyres are close to the limit and two tyres are perished so looks like i'll be needing tyres all roundwsas thinking of getting some slightly smaller tyres than the 185 55 14 that are on now just to have a small amount of stretch was thinking of something like 165 50 14's if these are existant?

CPall Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Got an exciting delivery from Germany on monday.Won these from German eBay.was looking at some Borbet A's but my budgets tight, and i came across these, got them very cheap. Theyre something different aswell, never seen a set before and thats what im after, something different They are made by AEZ. 15x7 et25they arent in the best condition but wont be able to afford tyres for a while so im giving them a DIY refurb.Already started the work on them and already got them looking much better. got them all planned out heres some pics, with detail of the bad bits to compare with when theyre done.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
