If you are running radials, I've got a set you can have in exchange for some notes .
Done naff all mileage and guaranteed to be straight, not grooved etc. Shoot us a PM if nterested.

A question for someone in the know...

Things haven't worked quite as well as I thought with the speedo connection. With four magnets around the disc the speedo massively over reads (although having 120mph on the clock in third gear looks impressive). I reduced it to three, better, and then to two, but then it under reads (by about 10mph @50). It's also worth noting that with the magnets at uneven spacing it really confuses the speedo, especially at low speed where you get the figures jumping around by about 10-15mph. Haven't quite worked out where I have gone wrong, or an easy solution. Anybody else had this problem?

Default Re: I've got the front end Bug!! Help!!

When i've had my new wheel sprayed the correct colour how easy is it going to be to fit a new tyre for myself? Is there any sort of sealant needed on the RIM or does it just seal with pressure? I'd prefer to have a go myself, just wondering if it was an easy job or one best left to the professionals?

Oh and a pic ofcourse, i've only just checked my new discs fit and to my relief, they do ...
