The best thing about the tyres going on was the amount of involement i had, I helped get the tyres off and get the bead to pop onto the rim

We had to mount the tyre from the rear of the wheel so we didnt damage the polished lip's

Played with the bead blaster what a bit of kit :twisted:

Plus the lads down the shop had a laugh aswel bit of banter etc, Another guy turned up and saw me fitting the tyres etc and thought u worked there :lol: I told him i was on trial :twisted:

The tyres and wheels look great. The front is a bit high alright.

Chrome arches are wrong in so many ways.
