About Me
The Wheel Spins

Hello, my name is Graham, and I live in Eastern Australia with my sister and two pet dogs. My passion in life is for wheels and tyres. Ever since I was a boy, I was fascinated by the wheels on things. I would spend hours looking at the underside of my toy cars, looking at the wheels on trams and dreaming of the large iron wheels of the steam trains which passed my childhood home. Over the years, I have learnt a lot about the many different types of wheels and tyres. I decided to start a blog to pass on everything I know to the next generation.
