Re: My new Wheels and Tyres :)

Looking great! Love the sight of new tyres and alloys. I think once done you should get a pro photographer to take some shots to make a portfolio of post-restoration..

In that case, they look great. No bead blasting involved then.

Re: My new Wheels and Tyres :)

Yip, they look well. I'm really looking forward to the pictures of them fitted to the G wagen.

I notice you didn't have them fitted with the raised white letters facing out!

Where did you take the pictures was it in the tyre centre or at home?

Regards,

Mike

the weheels were purchased from www.alloywheelsdirect.net and a friend of mine owns a landrover repair shop. he got me the tyres and fitted them for me. Thephoto's were taken at his workshop. my workshop is smaller and more organised :)

I did try that, but the whole thing looked too busy. I prefer they plain tyre wall.

Re: My new Wheels and Tyres :)

I spoke to these guys and they are indeed great.

But they only sell the old style flat running boards. Im after the newer style.

Any ideas?
