Right then all

At a point in time I am going to need to change my tyres.........1) they are old and 2) they are the wrong size

So if I am going to change the tyres do I change the wheels as well?

I'm looking for some pics of your M or Taimar on non standard rims (i.e. not T slots)

I actually quite like the look of the 15" vixen type personally running 195's

What do you say?

195 65 15 is a good compromise size wise and I wouldn't try to fit anything wider on the vixen style alloy

Maybe but they wont like the non existent grip of historic dunlops and theyre not road legal.

I'd suggest Avon CR6 ZZs available in a variety of 'old' sizes

You are only in Redditch, I must pop over for a brew and a chin wag smile

And I do like the 2 tone black / silver.

They're replicas of my Compomotive split rims that I had Image wheels copy when I destroyed the originals.
