That's right, but next week heading West for the start of my charity bike ride caper. St Emillion to Nice. Might be coming near Carcassone. Lovely part of the world. Great childhood memories of holidays at a friend's Vineyard, in La Laviniere near Beziers. Lovely wine too. There was this one night..... Whistle Monsieur Le Grenadier

Here we are. You really cant get a sexier wheel in my opinion Smile I dont know what colour your car is but mine is Corris grey and the Anthrecite Bowlers go very well.

Our other Defender has Twisted wheels. They're OK, but not a patch on the Bowlers.

The Bowler 18" in anthracite is my absolute favourite wheel. Whilst I might justify to myself the one off extra cost of the alloys, the 18" tyres are 30% more than the equivalent 16", for less tyres!?! KO2 in 16" are roughly £132 where as 18" are £176!! Could I justify this?? I don't know.... Tempting Shocked


When you see how much road bike tyres cost (and how long they last) - and there's precious little rubber involved in that transaction, these look quite good value tbh.
