You've made a really good job of those wheels.From a personal perspective I far prefer the original wheels and would have stuck with those.
Vive la difference! |

I like the Virgo wheels as well, what I'm doing should make them last the life of the car (and me). Alan

Notwithstanding that opinion, i have always felt brighter/lighter wheels suit darker body colours and darker wheels suit lighter/brighter body colours. It's probably my liking for contrasting but complimentary finishes. In the winter it's usually more difficult to see things like that because everything is filthy so the summer choice for me (when you can get things clean and keep them that way for a reasonable time) would be the Pholus. As John said a few posts up, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder so it's whatever floats your boat - Barge even!

I am going to sell them. Very reluctantly. The problems for a buyer would be distance I'm in Thurrock, cost of fitting a forum member told me over £30 per tyre, and, I can't be very quick to deal with things. Luke if interested please contact me. And I will of course check the tyres' profile. I don't want to hijack this thread Royal Czar. I'll open a sale thread in time. .

I think you must be mistaken about the cost of tyre fitting and balancing - it is £23 (inc VAT) for non supplied tyres at Corby Tyres (and I suspect that most parts of the country are similar).

. Yes actually my mistake £23 per wheel. My local depot are happy to agree £10. But it is an issue for any buyer. . |
