6yr old ED30 with 30k miles
« on: May 30, 2014, 06:49:02 pm »
I had the old girl serviced and Mot today its just turned 30,000 , no issues straight through the MOT .

Wheels are looking a little tired and the tyres have 5 to 6mm , I  am having a moment  do I buy a new set of VZs in anthracite and fit new tyres at the same time  and sell the pescaras with there michelin pilot 3s , anyone want to suggest what they could be worth

The driver who collected and returned the car complimented on how well she drives  .

I'd keep the Pescaras and maybe invest in a refurb ?

I'm a bit of a purist but each to their own  :happy2:

Shadow Chrome does also look good IMO.

You can get a refurb in the original colour. Detail My Ride have said they have a supply of the original paint from germany. Quoted me £120 per wheel for the OEM finish. So guess i shall be looking at getting something else done  :grin:

As you have such a genuine low miler, stick with the pescara's, all your posts have been about staying as genuine/original as possible, so keep the wheels, even if you buy some others.

Been thinking a smoked chrome or light shade of anthracite on a reflex silver for myself.

I think its Lepsons  at around £300 collected and returned  tyres off and back on balanced ready to go ,They can turn them round in a week I guess light anthracite is going to be near enough and freshen the old girl up , I will get them booked in for the work sometime this month
