I've just been out and put my old 15" sawblades back on the car ready for the Winter. hate-sfiga

I want to keep my refurbished Superleggera's in good condition, which means keeping them away from the deadly salt the Council loves to use on our roads.

I drove the whole of the Summer without kerbing them once. weint_vor_lachen

Does anyone else do this, or am I just a bit sad? Sad

I'd do this if i can find some cheap 15" tyres, the current ones are bald.

Hmm, actually, only two are, i wonder how much i can get two tyres fitted for.

Thanks to Merlin's good advice I'll be taking my 17" EP3's off and putting the 15" Honda blades on for winter. I really need to get off my lazy bum and refurbish them first though! Time's running out.

your not sad at all, wheels that are curbed and/or corroded can really let a cars apperance down and considering how much a new set of wheels are i'd rather not damage them. i would do the same but i just dont bother driving the lude in the winter, or at least when its wet which is most of the time Sad
