One wheel is no good Wayne - what's happened to the rest? Courier label looks like 4 of 4?

Just want to say,

BIG thanks to Chris!

Forever indebted!

Gave Audrey a good deep clean,

sorted the scratches out (he insisted! Lol),

Protection for winter,

And swop me summer for winters!

All for a friend :-)

Cheers Chris!

Glad to help Wayne

You made the right choice deciding to keep it

All we need now is some cold weather!!

Tbh, I was never sure about 16" wheels. But having seen your all-black ones Wayne, I'm a bit of a convert. Good work Sir.

How much was the final bill for all of your winter wheel paraphernalia, if you don't mind me asking?

It was Chris who got me thinking!

 

Skoda wanted £700 for steel + winter tyres

or £1000 with alloys

 

I couldn't find any used Audi alloys + winters that I liked on ebay 

 

So Chris said get some from www.MyTyres.co.uk!

Cheapest! 

I promised u, he says!

And they were!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

 

 

 

I paid £520 all inclusive of VAT/delivery for 16" steel wheels + Nokian winter tyres.

Delivered in a week - i think (or was that 2?)

 

I would have gone for AVON Ice T for £10 cheaper per tyre - but I prefered the Nokians.

 

 

Worth a group buy?

How did they perform Wayne?

They will struggle a little at first + its not cold enough for them to get optimum grip yet

Take care

CU soon

Don't know yet.

Drove soooo like Miss Daisy with those summer alloys

stack on top of each other in boot - was too worried thy might get scratched! Lol

Will know 2moro commuting to work and when they are bedded-in.

Looking at new set of Mcgard locking nuts from Halfords already.

At £30+ might just buy the Skoda ones at £18+ ...

Skoda:

Halfords Mcgard:

Looks like Skoda then

Looks like Skoda then

For price deffo!

But prefer ones that would not lose grip or get worn easily ...

...so need more research!

The only reason those suffered was the idiot at the tyre garage that over tightened them Wayne..I would get the Skoda ones

Get the older genuine VAG ones, they are 'ABC' ones and use a deep spline on them. Avoid the latter 'EURO' ones with the shallow pattern as they are crap
