I quite like the Grand Vitara rims I have them on the Blitz,
only problem I can see is they are going to increase your
turning circle over standard off set rims which is not good for
trials but if you are only competing against landrovers it's not
going to cause you any issues

Nivas get a bad vibration when the transferbox isn't aligned
properly, but it's an easy fix if you know how. Trial went
fairly well, first in my class, cause i was the only one in my
class :D

A video of the last trial I attended before lockdown. It was at
catlow, was nice to go there as I've been attending that trial
site since I was a baby and this was the last time it was going
to be open because the quarry is re-opening. It was unusually
slippy this year, and I now have some Fedima Sirocco 225/75R15
100Q's being delivered, they're 10mm skinnier and a softer load
rating than what I have atm, so should be a lot better even
though they do have a theoretical 12mm smaller diameter.
