Lol to all the above.

My specialineticmonomultigraingramsolid colour is the best, although yours is best as well, nearly.

And :

I don't want to pay that much for parts.
I'll gladly pay that little for parts many times over.

Serpents
Straights
Vikings
Vortex
Unions
Contours
Commets
Crown
Meteor
Forked spoked
Gridspokes
Hairpin
5 spoke
11 spoke
Apex

All of the above are the best alloys.

15" is best for comfort
17" is best for handling
16" is best compromise
15", 16" and 17" alloys are all the best.

Alison too has observed many things; namely; The spending of many, many, many thousands of pounds on car cleaning products is preferable to spending many hundreds of pounds on basic maintenance; thus avoiding large bills in the non- too distant future...

She is a clever little "Euro-box" is our Alison.

I don't have an opinion as I'm a brainless, unimaginative Audi driving sheep!
