Rear Imola wheel knackered after it hit a rock in the road, kicked up from the side of the road by the front wheel.



This is the reason to carry a spare wheel rather than the tyre sealant as I doubt the sealant would have fixed that.

All of the wheels were ready to be refurbished anyway, so the timing is not too bad other than I have just paid out for a new roof.

Quick phone call to James Agger after I got home and with the bust wheel safely in the boot, I set off to see what he had in stock expecting to come back with just a single wheel and then having to go and find someone to fit a tyre for me. I am now the owner of a replacement set of Imola wheels from his stock, that although not 'as new' are not far from it. I sat and had a cuppa while Martin fitted them for me while I waited this morning. Just need to get some new centre caps now to finish them off as my old ones look a bit shabby on the new wheels.
