Im sure all remeber the post where I was searching and searching for 172's before having to source spacers from Lissy's.(thanks again to all that helped out!) Im now feeling lower than a snakes belly, my rear wheel has been leaking pressure constantly so I went to get what I thought was a puncture repaired to discover that the wheel has two cracks. Its a bin job!
Im now back to the puny 18's (sorry to all you guys running 18's or less) Im searching for a single alloy (hens teeth!) If anyone knows where I can source a wheel please let me know!!!!!
