Winter wheels on!

:xmasgrin:


So got the winters on , the 19's were getting low on tread and needed a refurb , so i wasn't going to get the alloys refurbed just so they can perish through winter.

So had a hunt about and found some 17's for £200 , the add had been up for 27days so text the number and much to my suprise the boy had them and said yes!

so picked them up and they were in really good shape with about 4mm left on all the tyres.

but me being me i wasnt happy with the tyres as they didnt look like they would be much better than the 19's in the snow tbh!

so again had a scan and ended up finding some nearly new mud terrain tyres! , they were up for £125 , 3 years old had seen about 1000 road miles and been in storage ever since ! offered him £80 and got them aswell! haha

so for £180 im proud to show off my winter wheels! lol should be excellent for getting up the hills in the snow when i go away snowboarding!
