I\'ll keep you posted this weekend guv.

If I get my Blitz Technospeed wheel on (booked with Revolution in Gateshead for new tyres, fitting, alignment and set-up) then you can lend my existing wheels for a day.

If you only need two then even better as there is a small bit of tyre damage to one (passed three MOTs but last one took a chat with the tester).

The only problem will be if the new wheels dont fit.  Ive been waiting on       5Zigen wheel nuts for 7 weeks from good old Nengun and I was hoping to have these. Tools!
