 Do you care about wheels? - Oldgit
Give me some nice old balloon tyres. We have all gone too far with tarting up our cars with wheels that aren't really suitable. My car has 16" rims and wouldn't ever consider anything larger.
Forum mates, put 18s on their Golfs and then moan about the harshness of the ride and tramling.
My mate and his new BMW 5 series has got those ghastly Runflats and got a puncture about 200 miles into a European holdiday to South of France. What do you do then, as the distance you can then cover is limited, isn't it?
If I remember, he had to call out the emergency service, who then got him a replacement tyre - such is advancement.
He also fractured two alloy wheels, when coming home on a dark wet night on unfamiliar roads. His nearside wheels dropped into a deceptive puddle of water on the nearside - yes, a very deep pothole filled with water.
Aftermuch letter writing to the local councils I think he got reimbursed for his expenses of two new wheels.
