Thankfully no, more of me would be hell for most normal people believe me ;) (It's difficult enough for me to cope with me lol)

 

Anyways, Fitted the wheels, the car hasn't been washed in 2 weeks and I park on a main road so the car is always getting c**p thrown over it from gritter trucks and all sorts so it's usually filthy lol

 

I like the wheels just don't like the fact I have to get permission from air control to drive it lol (It's not helped by the 195 45 15 tyres on as I think it should be 195 50 15 to keep speedo right / not affect rolling radius too much?

Anyways I decided yesterday perhaps it wasn't too bad to drive now the caliper's sort of sorted and it decided to repay me by making an awful noise when I turned the wheel (Not moving so I'm guessing power steering related) and recently I've noticed the steering does feel very vague? I'd assuming it's just a case of topping up the fluid?

 

If not I'm getting an EK lol

It's not the wheel size it's the tyre size I meant Chandler lol, to keep the radius the same would need 195 50 15 tyres but as I've got 195 45 15s the radius is smaller so the speedo is out lol

As for my comment apparently I have a way with words lol
