The wheel-post round-up, 2016..

Let's get into 2016 with a wheel post. A solid wheel post. LOTS of wheels..
Cheekily somewhat of a 'greatest hits' or 'flashback episode' since its going to be a lot of links to previous work.. but c'mon, there's well over a hundred pics here.. and this has taken a possibly-somewhat-embarrassing amount of time to sort through.

SO.

In a little more detail..
I've gone through the previous posts to round up all that is wheel related... because its useful to see exactly I have and haven't posted.. and for general browsing's sake, well it turns out my post titles are just a little vague..!

...and that's it.
Prior to July 2013, it seems I didn't post much in the way of just wheels..  and only in doing this post now, had I even realised this! Totally forget these things....
Also, not only are there still a heap that I know I need to take photos of, write about, share.. there's a heap I'd just completely forgotten!
Some I'd taken pictures of ages before, but just sit on my hard-drive.
Some I still need to research more.. as I just know so little about them..
Some need finishing, others just need detailing... 
Some I just need to get around to taking a photoset of.


Falling somewhere into these categories is this lot below. Yep - ooh.. ahh... a vague, upcoming-post teaser...

..and..
..uhh.. I think that's it for the moment?
It'll do anyway - that's probably more than enough wheel pictures for now!

To recap, since I've spent the last couple hours assembling this.. I'm very tired, and badly resisting reading back through the post;
1. Links to previous wheel posts
2. Pictures of other wheels I'll eventually post about.
3. Ramble at the end to wrap things up.


Done!
