Finally made a decision on winter wheels and tyres.... 20” Rotors and Continental WinterContacts. 10mm spacers on. Just need to buy a different set of wheel locks as these are not compatible with the bolt caps....

V-Spokes off to be stripped and repaired - going for L8AU on those with no diamond edge for now.

Next up is black rings front and back...
Looks far better for having 20"s over winter time, 19"s look lost in the arches.

To resolve the locking wheel bolt cap issue. I cut some small strips of Velcro and packed out the inside of the cap with both hook and loop sections. I did leave the paper on the side which touch's the bolt, this made them snug and removable. Been spot on for a year :thumbs:
ive done the same for my locking bolt and no problems for a few years now not lost the cap yet
