New Wheels!

[SRimon]

Some of you will know, I bought this little thing last year!

Will bring this up to date somewhat:

Its done 1000 miles in my ownership now (9 months)!

Ok, went for a picnic on the moors with Mother and Father and so:

Then I had finally used up all but the last of the rear tyres on my wheels. I had looked around at some decent replacement tyres, and decided that because i'd always wanted the Turbo wheels that I had on my last VX220 i'd seek out another set - this was about 2 months ago. A chap PM'd me on the owners site with some with decent tyres, but lived well up country. He however came down to Taunton for work today so I agreed to meet.

They were in a bit of a state but thanks to some AG Wheel Cleaner ala:

And then to:

I've a real passion of hate for black wheels - took me long enough to search out silver ones lol lol

[AdamK]

Not a great fan of those wheels, but they certainly look the part!

Bit like fitting a Nova Sport interior!! Down grading to Turbo spec lol!

[SRimon]

I love the wheels - very Astra GSi snowflake like, makes the car look more modern imo, and suit it much more with the chiselled looks of the VX.
