Title: My new summer wheels
Post by: GTI:Gibbo on 19 February 2012, 23:47
As above i picked up my new summer wheels last week from Eastbourne 3 and a half hours away from me in Birmingham but i was in London with work on the same day so i popped down the M25 and then the M20 and soon enough i was at the destination and paying for them  :cool:

Still got to purchase rubber for them and will be doing so next week if all goes well
