Jesus that is low. Looks lower with the black wheels, but I think I prefer them as silver, make them more prodomanent (Spelling?)

I did like them silver but they were so scuffed and flaked it looked scruffy so i filed all the curbing, sanded and gave them some coats, its only till i get my new wheels but i think they look a bit tidyer.

I did buy some chrome paint to re-do the rim but it was a waste of money!!! :roll:
