Wow  :smiley: that is one super tidy garage.  Loving that tyre rack.  By the way how many alloys does one man need? :evil:

am1w, you have to tape the toe.  I broke one of mine in April, and because some idiot nurse didn't spot the break on an x-ray nothing was done for me.  I struggled on without any treatment, which was very painful.  Months later a review of the original film showed it had been broken all along.  It still isn't right.

Then in November I did exactly the same thing to a different toe (long story, don't ask).  A different nurse at a different hospital said she wasn't going to x-ray it because she was going to tape it up anyway.  What a difference!  I could walk normally and although I can feel a callus and there's still some bruising, it feels healed.

Did you make your tyre rack or is it available off the shelf?

Custom made to fit - a mate is a welder!
I'm having another two rows added to the bottom...it's in fabrication now.

Why thank you...

In answer to your question...
4 x 8.5"x19" VW Racing wheels with 225/35/19 tyres.
4 x 8.5"x19" VW Racing wheels spare.
4 x 8.0"x18" BBS CH025 wheels with 225/40/18 winter tyres.
4 x 8.0"x18" BBS CH025 wheels spare.
4 x 7.5x18" VW Monza Shadows with 225/40/18 tyres.
Obviously, one set of tyred wheels will be on the car.

Then theres:
4 x 7"x16" BBS RXIIs with Toyo T1Rs on.
8 x 7"x16" BBS RXIIs spare.
4 x 7"x16" BBS RXIIs with Toyo T1-S on, on my old Mk3.
Then there's an odd 6.5"x16" BBS RXII.
An odd space saver from the Mk3

4 x 6"x15" New Fabia wheels and tyres (actually mothers, whilst she has her winter wheels/tyres on)
And soon, 4 x 6.5"x16" with winter tyres OR 7"x17" VW Classix with summer tyres on, from my old mans Mk5 TDI170.

I think there's an odd Audi A2 wheel up in the garage loft too...

Hmm...that's it. I think.

+ 1, I've tried everywhere for a set of those wheels and deeply regret not buying at the time. :sad:
