And you thought I meant a car  ;)

Picked up today with 235/45 R17 tyres on. Not a great deal of tread, but enough for one summer. 180 euro for the four - thought was ok. Irmscher too.  :y

Nice wheels  :y :y. They're a very popular rim, but go easy on them, apparently they buckle at the sight of a pot hole  :y :y :y

Very very light. Which might explane thier fragility. Nice though. :)

Ta. With those comments in mind I took them out of the boot of the car this mornig and compared them with my standard 15" Opel alloys. Ok, Opel ones are 2" smaller, but they are lighter. So the Irmscher ones aren't that light. Nevertheless, I will heed the warnings. Thanks again.
