New Wheel
Hi everyone,

A very well covered topic on here as I well know after trawling through it all, but thought I would add mine on here too as more pictures and examples are always useful! So received my new 14" momo jet wheel today along with the Snap off from FCX and the slimline boss from RDX, in my eyes it's a nice net set up, and doesn't seem to bring the wheel too far forward. The jet is quite a shallow wheel with very little dish so the stalks are still easily reachable with average sized hands! Had a little run around after fitment and it feels a lot more positive when driving with the smaller wheel, and like manoeuvring the titanic.

On a side note, does anyone know of anyone who produces a decent carry bag for the wheel when it's off the car to prevent it getting damaged?

Cheers,
Lew

Can't go wrong with this one. Should be cheap too, and readily available in your hemisphere. Thumbs Up

 You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Someone on here mentioned using a "Surplus Pilots Lap Top Bag", bu ti guess any suitably size laptop bag would work? James

I bought one of these for mine, in black. It seems perfect for the job to me, and very good value.
