Time has come again to change over from summer to winter tyres.
My last set of winters (black Hartge with polished rims) were stolen a year and a half ago.
This summer I managed to keep an eye on the second hand market and managed to buy .... one set of 5 Hartge with 4 new unused centre caps (without tyres) for about 200 quid. One was a bit chewed on the rim and 2 were not perfectly straight.
A couple of weeks ago there was a guy desperate to get rid of a set of 4 without caps, 2 ok tyres and 2 shot - guy wanted 75 quid for them.
So here's the result ... with new Falken boots ...

From this,

With these,

Quality of the new pics is not great .....

Car looks completely different ...

And please don't give me shit about the amount of moss in my lawn.

so your using Hartge rims as winter wheels, most people would use these as summer wheels.
