The worst collection thread ever….and other musings

One bit of better news, while out and about last Tuesday, visiting a job in Mytchet for my friends that run a b+b in Normandy, I popped to see two different guys selling genuine OE VW 15” transporter Alloy wheels.  First guy had 3 bare rims and only wanted £20 to get rid of them.  The next guy had rims with bald knackered tyres badly painted dark grey but wouldn’t take less than £120.  So I now have 7 wheels.  The plan is to pop them over to my Nephews works in a week or twos time so he’ll remove the tyres, but I’ll have to find somewhere to get rid of them as my local council want £12 each and even then limit us to two a year ffs!!   The Nephew will then powder coat the five best rims and i’ll list the last two for sale individually.  He’ll then also swap my good Conti’s from my steels to the alloys. They’ve a good few years left in them yet although they’ll be a bit stretched going onto slightly wider rims.  In a few years when I need to replace them i’ll go up a tyre size.
