There going in with the flywheel lol.

Ahhh... That's what service time is for! According to my beloved.

OMG!!!! 10.000 miles to a tank of fuel??? Where can I get me one of these?

 

[A.J.]

Left wheels of s class in for full refurbishment, hard choice now but narrowed down to these 3 finishes,
Although they are not the style of my wheel. Thinking of middle one.

I think I would agree with you on that The ones at the bottom are 'orrible !!

 

[LostKiwi]

Either of the top two but definitely not the bottom one - it's vile!

 

[Gazwould]

Top is an Audi design .

 

[snipez999]

Middle one. But you’ll be needing 20 more wheel nuts

Ask Mrs RH... although make sure you've got the required mug on standby 24/7 for when the car has its inevitable wobble!!!

PLEASE, not the chrome one, that's absolutely hideous!
No.2 looks ok not so sure of the multi fit arrangement however, I prefer No.1 for simplicity and ease of cleaning

Those are just finishes, none of them is my style of rim.

Oops! Sorry, put it down to tiredness. Still prefer either 1, or, 2, tbh the chrome look just doesn’t do it for me at all.

2 was my favourite but seeing the chrome powder coat in real life is temping ,the photo of them is poor , but the chrome finish is only available if the rims clean up like
new , I had chrome before on a Jaguar . It depends if I am going to stay big stardard with the s type or maybe go a bit mad. Lol

 

[00slk]

Middle one

 

[Blobcat]

one of each...

 

[McDonald]

Option 1 every time (for all four wheels)

 

[Binnedit]

Yup, number one for me also

Been driving it and it has now done more than 1,000 miles so is now run in. Interestingly, the label on the windscreen talks about “Breaking In” a new vehicle but I thought that was for horses!

Did a 260 mile round trip at the weekend for a night away at Birmingham to see Jeff Wayne's “War of the Worlds” at the NEC (highly recommended) and a further 130 mile round trip yesterday for the Festival of Light at Longleat (also highly recommended). I can’t get over how well it handles for a tall car weighing two tons. It shouldn’t be able to go round roundabouts like this and it does it with so much ease that Mrs L doesn’t even seem to notice that I’m pushing it s bit. Perhaps I’m not trying hard enough
