Believe all sanctioned OPCs do this if you buy your winter set from them
Thanks, VanB.
What's a 'sanctioned' OPC?
I was sure that I've read on here previously that some/many OPCs had stopped offering this service, possibly due to issues of insufficient storage space?

Sorry WingCo was intended to mean "genuine OPC sanctioned by Porsche" as opposed to a Porsche dealership. I guess that all of those belonging to Porsche GB will still store your wheels/tyres but less sure outside of that (e.g. Dick Lovett)

OPC Tonbridge which is owned by Lind also stores the rims for free. I also believe that you have to buy the rims from them to qualify.
Thanks, Nosmo. Perfectly reasonable that you buy the wheel/tyre sets from the OPC, if they offer to store them & change them for free...
I guess it does depend on how big the OPC is & what storage facilities they have.

DL Bristol store mine and swap foc, at least so far! I bought the rim and tyre set from them when I bought the car. They are stored in a large shed and, while not exactly a 'controlled environment' at least it is dry and, importantly, dark.

Thanks, Nick. That is good to know. As Swindon have moved to a new bigger premises, hopefully they'll offer a similar service. I'll have to save my pennies for a winter wheel/tyre set...
