Default Squeak's refurbed wheels

Edit: Title renamed to avoid being moved to muppets.


Our beloved Squeaky is currently without internet access, and is having to amuse herself without the use of t'internet.

At the Oxford meet ( last night ) she turned up sporting some shiny shiny wheels.
She has asked me to post them up to see what you guys think of them.
The centre caps are coming as are new wheel nuts.

Notice that the outside of the wheels are somewhat lighter than the inside..

Right... as Squeaky has some ongoing t'internet challenges.

I'll try to answer from what I can remember from last night

It wasn't the cheapest price around - but the quality is excellent ( Pip will confirm exact price when ISP issues resolved )


The weak point of the 10 spoke wheels is the diamond cut. A good few threads on this recently. The Diamond cut areas always seem to corrode.

From memory - Pip has not had these diamond cut as part of the refurb - so they will not corrode.
