So soon it will be off with the 18" BBS CH wheels / Vredestein Winter Tyres...and on with the 19" VW Racing / Goodyear Eagle F1 summer tyres.
I collected the VW Racing wheels from the powder coaters today, now resplendent in Anthracite powder coat - the same finish as the winter BBS CHs.
They've done their usual superb job on them:

Strangely, they seem to be breeding:

Hopefully get the tyres on this week, and go from there.

I do indeed have heaters in there (x4) but I suspect a small fire may be counter-productive if you actully store cars in the garage.

I can try...the BBS CHs have only reproduced once...and thus far the VWRs only once too..so I may be struggling. :wink:

Love the VWR wheels mate, they're on my list of things to get this summer.
Post some pics when they're on mate.

Sadly not...I have grown fond of them.
I like to have a selection of spares for both summer and winter wheels...hence 2 sets of 18"x8" BBS CH and 2 sets of 19"x8.5" VWR.
