Eh boys?? All morning to change wheels??? You need a trolley jack and then it should take ten minutes a wheel!

Seriously mate I've got all gear to change the wheels over - but its worth just whipping it down to the local tyre fitters who will put it up on a ramp and swap the wheels over in no time for about £25-00. The last time I did it myself one of the security bolts was stuck solid. Only the tyre fitters managed to get it out using the pneuamtic wrench after a few goes.

Come on get it sorted we wanna see these new wheels. I take it you've sold the shadows then?

I would much rather change the wheels myself that way i know they have been done properly and not over tight.

SORTED! HERE IS MY ' NEW WINTER SET OF ALLOYS '...........







They are BBS 18" Monza II's refinished in Satin Black. I brought them from a guy on ebay for £350-00 which seems like a pretty good deal to me. I'm picking them up tomorrow morning :smiley:

So my GTI will look a wee bit like this one..... I think they work quite well on a candy white.





p.s. I'll probably be selling them on this time next week knowing me.
