I thought I would share my last little 12C enhancement.

I had purchased a set of summer Corsa P-zero tyres for the summer and it was time to swap with the sun finally coming out in recent weeks. I also stumbled across those loverly MSO diamond cut super lightweight wheels from Bespoke OEM. And I think the result is pretty good. So now I have the super lightweight wheels in stealth for the winter with regular tyres and those brighter wheels with the summer tyres.





In comparison to the stealth wheels

They look great.

I'm having my superlight wheels changed from stealth to gloss black/diamond cut while it's having its service this week. I'll post pictures next week.

Mine's now back.

Loving the new MSO wheel finish. Such a simple and cheap upgrade.

Interested in your thoughts on your summer tyres?

Ah, the infamous penis wheels. Sadly I can't see them any other way since someone first pointed them out.

Very nice. Did you get your stealth wheels modified or bought new ones ?

Summer tyres are really great and easily manageable in wet conditions.
I might not go back to standard P0 after that.
The Corsa tyres were a bit of a handful on the V12V (but fun) but they are a lot more progressive on the 12C and the amount of grip on warm condition fantastic.

There must be a 'Ron speak' acronym for P.E.N.I.S wheels?

Thanks, I had the originals modified while it was away being serviced last week. I was inspired by the '15' plate VY at Ascot. Really pleased with the results.

I think I'll look at summer tyres, I still have the originals on mine but they are nearing the end of their life and even though my car's a garage queen and rarely sees rain, I'm not sure what to expect from these tyres when the heavens do open.

Very nice, is that Standard Blue? Looks great, a little darker than I've seen in some pics.
