Time for the car to come out of hibernation.
Just had a fresh MOT, service and 12 months road tax.

Into my 7th year of ownership

Default Wheels

For some time now I've been looking for another set of wheels when locally I got the chance of a set of 18" Work Emotion .
The bonus was that they were 7.5 x 18 and flew over the AP 6 pots
They were in need of a little TLC so after much debate with myself off they went to the Wheel specialist in Cwmbran.
These guys did a fantastic job and they also fitted a new set of rubber which I had sent to them direct from Funky tyres on here.
Well colour wise it's going to be marmite, you are either going to love them or hate them
Feel free to comment either way I really don't mind at all.
Hope you like them and before anyone asks the Revolutions are keepers so not for sale.

They are a second set for when I fancy a change, the revolutions are the ones for the car IMO but these offer a different look and transform the car overall.
Like I said a bit marmite but hey what the hell I just went for it

I take full responsibility.

I like them, they're different and really change the look of the car.
