On an estate, done properly, I think that would look quite good in a strange kind of faux American piss take style.

5 minutes to change 4 wheels and press a button inside the cabin seems fair to me

OK, I'll get a stopwatch. Bet you couldn't.

Don’t see why I couldn’t, 1 jack per side and gun off and on 4 wheels in no time.

With a trolley jack and an ugga dugga gun it'd be easy!

I assume this is a genuine "spot" so you dont have any details on it... would love to read more about it if only to gasp as the shock of the thought process...

You have to allow time to get the jacks from wherever they are stored, position them under the jacking points, move new wheels up to the car, remove old wheels, place new wheels on hub, hand tighten bolts/nuts in crosswise, lower car, set torque wrench, torque up wheels, move old wheels out of the way, put jacks and tools back wherever they live.

No way can one person do that in 5 mins. Sounds more like 5 mins per corner.

What?

Pull car up next to garage door, pull out jack, jack in middle and lift one side of the car to get both wheels.

Gun off both and gun on 2 in under 2 minutes easily. Lower car, move jack and repeat.

State of your wheels mate

normally when people criticize a car purely for the owners taste in wheels i think 'each to their own' but in this case I absolutely agree! not right for a Morgan at all.
