Tyres & Wheels........

If i could I'd have alloys.. but for cosmetic reasons. Logic would say cheap modulars for laning and owt more sinister.

I think the aloys on yours make part of the overall package visually.

If i get some new ones they will be bigger, so i made them bigger in the

Try the mods in black .. see Nige's, they look the bollocks, IMHO. ;)

Paul - xxx uttered summat worrerz funny about:

I did a poll on MCUK and the black modulars came out well on top hence....

(image is big!)

Alloys have a habit of falling apart, not sure of the mechanism but they just crack and drop apart sometimes without warning. I saw the scattered bits of a Police motor bike front alloy that has done just that and no the rider wasn't in pursuit or going fast, just as well really.

Steels just bend if you hit them and are cheaper less to worry about up a lane. B-)

black wheels do look pretty good! i'm tempted to go at my white 8 spokes with some black hammerite!

Yup, would look well on the IIa. How is it going? Are we in for a Snow free winter ... ;-)

Alloys have a nasty habit of shattering when bashed against rocks, steel wheels tend to just bend a bit (and can be straightened enough with a hammer to get you home).

snow is looking 50/50 at the mo! ;)

ive got a nice shiney handbrake backplate and all new shiney handbrake bits ready in the shed but have not yet had the tuits (or the weather) to reassemble it on the vehicle. If its dry this weekend then snow will be less likely ;)

plus you can knock the dents out with a sledge hammer.

Alloys, BTW - probably metal fatigue.
