I'm quite enjoying driving GAM with the silver wheels on - they are an improvement. The steering is certainly lighter with the 175/60 tyres and the gearing is more suitable. Having the speedometer being accurate is a bonus as well.

I may well use the silver wheels more than I'd planned, and store the now sparkling red ones. In that case I thought I'd better address the spare wheel problem, so I've bought another 8 hole Volvo wheel (for £15) and another 175/60 tyre. I have everything else I need, so the whole thing will cost me £55.
