Tyre Fitting
#1
Why does it cost £ra*e.99?!

I've been quoted anything from £40 to £93 to swap some tyres over from one set of wheels to another?? Its mental, my mate's dad would've done it for £20, but can't fit me in today Sad

Anyway, just felt the need to rant.

Protyre wanted £10 plus vat per wheel just to remove some tyres when i got my wheels painted. Took it to a local garage on my way past, £10 total and done in 5 mins. Its rediculous.

Yeah, couldn't afford a weekend ticket unfortunately, although ironically this is going to bring my cost up to the same as if I'd stayed lol

My day just keeps getting better, turns out what I thought were a set of 16 extra long bolts were two different lengths, so half of them aren't long enough for my spacers Sad

Wondering whether to use the studs and nuts I have, which means using ghey blue nuts, or just giving up on fitting these wheels completely :/

Just rang ATS, also £10p/w...there must be a bloody tyre fitting cartel Tongue
