You haven't bought them yet though have you? If not, kerching.

Noo not bought them yet! I've been wanting to get premium tyres, but now i don't think i'm that bothered! Mid range tyres would be fine, so those Kuhmo ones look alright, good reviews. I'll probably go for those ones, saves me £25 which is half a tank which will do me nicely! :D

Yeah, especially with the low profile tyres. Make sure the tyre place doesnt damage the wheels after all the effort which has went into painting them

I know! that is the only thing i am conscious about. I'm getting the wheels of blackcircles.com and i'm using one of their Premier fitting centres or something like that, some very good reviews from it, so hopefully there will be no problems.

Honest opinions please.

Sorry Michael not keen on that although the tyre being flat doesn’t help us the view it positively so I have edited the picture and inflated the tyre a bit.. :unsure: they look a bit dark in your photo too :unsure:

I did wonder what it would look like with a coloured rim to try and give the wheel some deformation between it and the tyre… :)

Ohh I like the silver edge! The tyre looks like it's full of water too? :lol: they look smashing though blud.

Look really good Michael!

I would avoid the coloured rim however.

Nothing better than seeing your work take shape, well done :P

As with pretty much everything at the moment, i'm having doubts. i'm sure that once they all have brand new tyres on them and fitted on all corners they'll look alright.

I'm being a pessimistic percy at the moment, ignore!
