Hi all, fed up waiting for the snow and ice to come or be over...

So firstly, as it says in the title Ive got my wheels on...

No problems apart from this:

I don't want them on, but I can't get them off! tried holding valve with pliers, but don't want to damage it. Ideas?!?!?

So here goes:

45mm AVO springs on order and tyres I think will drop to a 55 profile when replaced. Though the 60s drive OK around town and up the A9 for a short blast.

Waiting for:

Stubby ariel

stubby mirror (and colour code)

...and finally a photo of my boot liner!

Opinions welcome unless you don't like it, in which case leave me alone!

wheels do make a difference but you need to get it on coilovers tongue.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

...either that or mod the pavement/driveway with an angle grinder!

Blame OLW as he mentioned having trouble getting on ramps at a 40mm drop...

I had a set of those valve caps a few years ago. Had them on for 6 months and they seized solid mad.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />

Managed to get them off by holding the rubber part of the valve with a pair of mole grips and using a socket on the valve cap. The alloy seems to react with the metal in the valve and they weld themselves on - stops the local neds nicking them though I suppose laugh.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Get them off and throw them away!

The wheels look a bit old for the car. BBS wheels on a Seat doesnt look right in my opinion.

Grappo: Can't you read... I'll repeat myself... LOUDER...

Opinions welcome unless you don't like it, in which case leave me alone!

Nah! Just kiddin'. To be honest I was a bit worried about the old/new thing, but now thy're on am happy with them. Once I get my springs delivered and fitted I'll reconsider, but for now...

I like the wheels, but the tyres aare waaaay too chunky!!!

Agreed Zip!, but that's what they were wearin' on the Golf Cab. I'm just a poor IT Team Leader so will run the 185/60/14 for a while and then put on 55 profiles. I should get my 45mm drop on soon too.

Ta!
