Did not get much time to play with cars over the weekend but did manage to make a start with the wheels. Scrap value is double if the tyres are removed so that is what had to happen.
Got the cutter out and sliced into the wheel and tyre on both sides which released the beads so the tyre could be removed with levers ( no levers then cut the tyre off ) the spare was a steel space saver and has also had the tyre removed in the same way.
On the car now is 15" focus alloys on the rear and 17" on the front
