Alloy wheel refurb

[Peoplesoft bloke]

Only if the rolling diameter changes, which is unlikely as the bigger the wheel, the lower the profile tyre that will have been fitted.

We are not living in 1972 anymore bagpus.

Precisely - the 18s are running 40% profile - the 17s run a deeper sidewall so end up the same diameter.

On a car like the mondeo it's a simple strip and repaint. Quite a few of those places in and around the SE (IIRC that's where you are)
Have a search on the pistonheads forum for recommendations. PS if you put the wrong sized wheels on your speedo could end up wrong

Most management systems allow you to recalibrate to correct this. you may well need to get hold of the diag software, however some (e.g. bmw) will let you do it through the on board menu (once you know how to unlock it).

I also don't know what to do, should I splash out nearly €3,000 for another set of rims and tyres to be used for the winter (legal requirement) or buy an old banger instead for winter use for the same price (saw a Vitara 4x4 for less than €2,000 so thought of going for that.) I suppose, seeing as others, I could say that summer tyres are 245/30x19 and 265/30x19 (ZR rated) and winter are only 225/45x18 and 245/45x18 unless I want to fit chains then they're only 225 size.
