This made me chuckle, wheel cushions

[wessexrfc]

Had some time to kill on Sunday, so popped into my local Aston Martin dealer and came across these. To save the tyres from flat spotting I guess but all they are, are foam with the logo, a right bargin, I've ordered two sets





I hope you have a set Kevin, if not you can have my spare set for half price, please note though, my set of car tyre cushions do look a bit like they've been pinched from my sofa, but fear not, they will have "Aston Martin" hand drawn (attention to detail) on them

I have a set for the lawnmower, I thought everyone did.

Good Lord OP. You are so behind the times. I even use them for my saucepans.

Hi Melindi , is that because your saucepans stay still for so long ?? Tux

Personally, I'm waiting for the TuxMan racing wheel cushions...

If there is any correlation between the size of my arse and their movement I think we can safely take that as a HUGE no.

Bit of a coincidence seeing that, one division of our company works with the same material:

If anyone would like a set of Noble branded (laser-etched), "wheel cushions" like those shown, I would guess about £100 / set. 500% mark-up by AM then?

Pah - I use my Aston Martin wheel cushions as garage wall protectors

nice one,
500%?? try a nice round 600% mark up!!!! They would save my hot tyres pulling up my painted floor though, think how many tiny tins of grey floor sealant paint I could save

Can't see from the photo, but are they the Reifenkissen ones?

If so the price is the same as retail €-£.

I saw them ages ago and laughed at the price.
