sorry guys, just photoshopped at the moment, i'm just gathering opinions and i think they look pretty damn cool

I want to come to Cotsold's but doubt i can make it now, other things have come to the fore, but i hope to have the wheels black chromed before Trax and will get some proper photo's done then.

Everyone like then?

Just a thought, if the Black Chroming isn't to costly, and you need to buy some steel rims and tyres, could go halfs on a set of steel rims and you use them then I, then sell em and split it. I'm already up north to, so hopefully the place won't be too far from me

Yeah thats not a bad idea, steels shouldn't be more than £20 each with tyres so in the scheme of things its nothing, plus i have a mate who says he knows a good place to go so it could be a trip up north soon.
