Picked up my rims last sunday, took some time to clean them rims today. I must say, for 75 euros, I'm very happy:)

Too bad most of the center caps are ugly as hell tho...

Can't wait to fit them...have to wait though before my current tyres are worn.

And, which makes me even happier: tomorrow my ext. temp. and econo-gauge will arrive!

Did I mention my mk2 GLT rims were free...?! They look like ass, so I've got a funky refurb planned.

Has Hugh ever tried running on a set of space savers to try and reduce fuel consumption?

If you want stingey look at some of the joeskins round my way who only change a tyre after the wire is through and it will not hold air anymore!!! :|

i was running on the rare alloys for a while, they're skinny enough to be space savers :)

accidentally took a huuuge chunk out of the spare though - turns out you cant rest it on the altinator (oops)
