Show Me Your Wheels...

Post by Mark Elvin » Thu Jun 19, 2014 6:03 pm

Struggling to decide on wheels for the bongo.

I'd be really greatful if you'd share pics of your Bongos if you have changed the wheels from standard.

I recently bought a set of these:

I got mine from LK performance - but looking just now they no longer stock them for some reason (I have my old, black hand painted ones to get rid of now :-& )

I have taken the tyres off the other ones ready for a refurb. Once done i will put winter tyres on to save the new alloys when the weather gets bad.

Spotted Stuc's at Stourport, very nice indeed. =D>

Some other very nice motors here, too.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

Bog standard 15" Mazda alloys refurbed and powder coated. Not very pimpy, but look good as (or better than) new.
