Title: What to do with car when wheels are away getting refurbished?
Post by: recci on 08 April 2013, 23:45

I want to get my wheels sent away and refurbished at Aerocoat, My wheels are a bomb scare right  now :'( and if i ever want to sell the car for decent money ill need to get them done. But I have one question. What the hell do I do with my car when it has no wheels? I have no axel stands and I dont want to pay money to buy them for a one off use! I only have one spare wheel and similarly I dont want to buy 3 steel wheels and have to pay for tyres just to use them for a week or so! And I dont fancy leaving my car up on bricks around here as some kids may try to push it over or something. Could I fit some old rusty wheels from a scrp merchant and just sit the car on ground, on the bare metal wheels? Or would this be too low? I need options.

I'd just get down the Scrappys and buy some standard steel wheels shouldn't cost you more than £60ish

+1 and then use these during the winter months too, to stop your nice wheels getting wrecked again!  :wink:
