Oi, that’s my line Chris!
One is - last time I used the car I clipped a house brick lay right in my path in the dark on a dual carriageway. As the sidewalls are very shallow and the tyres are stretched the rim is very exposed.
I avoided it by a hair’s breadth, so the tyre was spared but the very edge of the wheel caught the brick. So I’ve popped one of the new wheels on and the rest are being stored carefully.
I might get it repaired or I might get a piece of glass cut to size and use it as a table in my office, I haven’t decided just yet. I absolutely love these wheels and always have, so I might go for plan B!
The frustrating thing is that it was detailed, hard top fitted and tucked up ready for winter, but it’s my son’s favourite car and wanted to go out in it one last time when it happened
The tyres were replaced in the wind and rain yesterday, so it’s not looking it’s pint-sized sexy best, but I’ll take a photo or two later with the new wheel and boots fitted
