This is very exciting… the first change to the van!
I’ve changed a tyre before, but never replaced a set of wheels. I splashed out a little and bought some Black Rhino Barstow wheels, with some All Seasons Michelin CrossClimate+ tyres (both from LK Performance). Took a while researching the options and making sure everything was compatible. Now I know what all those numbers mean on the side of tyres – well… some of them anyway.
After some thought, I also bought myself a decent trolley jack and some axle stands (from SGS Engineering). The wheels arrived yesterday and the delivery guy helpfully managed to get the pallet into the garage…
The fitting went reasonably well I suppose… all things considered…
You can see it all here on You Tube
And the end result…
Yeah, so the photos aren’t great, but I’m really pleased with the wheels, they just change the whole feel of the van.
SO….. what did I learn today?
