With all the travelling on crappy roads to visit Terry in Rehab, my car had developed a very annoying 'voop voop voop' noise. The Mazda dealer called it tyre damage and gave me a free balancing and alignment to make it better.
Still, the noise got deep under my skin, so I stopped at my usual tyre dealer yesterday to find that replacing the damaged Bridgestone Potenza would cost a small fortune and re-tyring to a cheaper brand as I intended would also be a large outlay, 'cause I would have to all 5 at once.
As luck would have it, another client had just had his old wheels put back on his car because he had bought another car and was selling it and the mags separately. His asking price for the 17" Merit Racing (MR222) mags with about 7000 km old Kumho 225x45x17 tyres on, was less than my re-tyring alone i.e. I save on re-tyring, keep my existing wheels and get the mags essentially for free.
So, I've now re-tyred and re-wheeled at what I think is a bargain. Not knowing much about mags, I don't know how good these mags are, but they sure are pretty!

Although having a Mazda I usually don't like their models, but the 6 is great-looking.
