Unless mine come Wed, Thu or Fri (which I doubt), then I'm not going to see them until at least the 5th January when we return to work.
I'm in the same boat with the wheels too!

The wheels will need to go and get powdercoated - which I believe takes about 3 days.  My fiancee's uncle runs a car dealership and told me to take the wheels and tyres round there when I get everything and he'll have them fitted.  He'll also store my summer wheels too  :cool:

Once the weather is a bit better I can take my summer wheels home one or two at a time and get them polished and waxed ready for March / April time!

And neither of you has wished me a Merry Christmas. :cry: :sad:

You still have 4 days till Christmas!  I can't imagine you staying away from the forum for a single day, so I'll wish you a Merry Christmas on Christmas day!!  :laugh:
I tend to miss this forum after a week or so.
Shame, as it's been directly responsible for by bluefin, winter tyres, breakdown cover, GAP insurance and RCD, not to mention screenwash, wipers etc.

Around £1500 I'd say.

I should ban myself.

It must've cost me over £60k so far!!!  :shocked:

Ami: You've got off reasonably lightly compared to me.
I was given an ultimatum by my family which they eventually rescinded when money changed hands. :sick:

My wheels arrived today  :cool:
Well... I say arrived - but I actually stood in a DHL waiting room for about 45 mins whilst they searched for them!
They look pretty good in the flesh.  I pinged out the center caps and put them back in their boxes to take out to get powdercoated.  I think this will have to wait until next year now though.
Center caps are 55mm, so I ordered some off eBay.
I got an email saying my tyres have been dispatched also.

All looks good for getting everything at the beginning of January now!
