I have got my new wheels on (look familiar Scottiecoop??) thanks to the efforts of Ian and Big Alan at Menzies. Top Service as per usual.
I think it makes a difference to the car. I hate the ride you get with runflats. This is only temp until I can get my 5 spokes powder-coated (just saving up again :disapprove:).

VERY nice indeedy!!
Keep the mods coming!
I'll need some healthy competition!
MINIME!!! remember how I said I wasn't meant to have these wheels. Just spent the last 2 hours trying to work out why the offside front wheel is ticking constantly. It appears to be a single spot on the wheel as the ticking gets faster the faster your drive. I have taken out the spacer and put the wheel back on - the ticking is still there. I have tried using other wheels nuts that I used on my other 5 spokes and the ticking is still there. Anyone any ideas what it could be....:disapprove::disapprove:
Have you checked for any stones stuck in the tread? I got some black tar chips in mine in the hot weather (all 2 days of it!) which caused a clicking.
Have you jacked the car up and spun the wheel by hand :question: if not, then, try it, also, do as others suggest, check the treads are clear of stones
Done all of that and it is still happening. Just going out now to investigate more.... I will be back with an update
wow Craig, that power washer worked wonders from what i've just seen
Craig!
Are these wheels Split rims?
I was reading something on MINI2 recently about someone getting the same sort of problem..
Turns out some of the bolts holding the rims together were a wee bit loose and the rims were shifting and making the clicky noise...
Sounds a bit of a drama, but you should check it out! :blackeye:
As MINIME will probably point out - I have put my old 5 spokes on as I couldn't bear the noise.:disapprove:
I will check that lnl,thanks for the tip... I just need to find the right size of Torq (as none that I have fit)
