Title: New Granny wheels
Post by Jonnycab on Aug 19^th, 2009, 12:31am

My search for a decent looking set of retro wheels for my MK1 has finally ended :D

Managed to get hold of this set of 4, 14" Melber/Penta alloys with Firestone Firehawk 225/60/14 tyres for the pricely sum of £50 8)

I reckon they really suit the old girl & give her a bit of attitude.... ;)

Very, very nice car & wheels JC.

Can't remember the last time I saw a Mk1 on the road.

I was followed for a few miles by a Mk2 last weekend but you don't often see them now.

Oh happy days :D

The old girl's just passed her MOT this afternoon 8).....32 years old & still fit enough to grace the public highway ;)

Now what did I do with that bottle of Dom Perignon ? ;D
