@NINJA that wheels :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

@Calum True but sadly we live in a world full of incompetent fools and shit happens. Hence why I took my wheels to a reputable tyre shop, who I have used many times and have been reliable thus far. So hopefully they will come back in the same condition? I'm just waiting for the call to say that they are ready - TBC...................

@Calum Youd think so I’ve used many places the one place punctured my new tube then put my old tube back in saying there’s something wrong with the rim further inspection showed a clear tyre lever pinch on my new tube ended up doing that one my self, another time at a different place my tyre ended up on backwards and my rims need repainting after every time

Well sadly either talking about it jinxed the fitting or the tyre gremlins chose me today. I got a call to say that the rear has been fitted perfectly, but the front tyre has split on the bead and is no longer usable. Which is very weird considering they are brand new tyres. The tyre shop were very apologetic and quickly offered to supply a brand new front tyre FOC. Which hints at something they did to cause the damage? So I got the rear back unscathed, but will have to wait until Monday for the front. Nothing is every easy or straight-forward in life sadly!!! :angry_face: :crying_face: :pouting_face: :pouting_face:

Wheel repairing due to the numpty tyre fitter, chipping my perfect paint job!!! :pouting_face: :pouting_face: :pouting_face:
Just waiting for final coat to dry before I apply the lacquer. Today's heatwave reduces curing times thankfully!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :sun: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@Louis-James Being a perfectionist, there always comes a point when you have to draw a line and stop. I put a lot of work into getting my wheels perfect and some numpty damages them in seconds. OK it was only 2 small chips which were hardly noticeable unless you were close up, but to me they were enough to try and fix them. Sadly they would not polish out, so a full rub-down and respray was required. Mint wheels will be reappearing very soon............
