You are so lucky you took a "Reflection selfie" given the lack of pictures of the wheels!  :grin:

That is looking smart!! :cool:

I got a bashing on Instagram off my mates for the "selfie" as well :grin:

As you asked....



Found a problem that's going to annoy me as well:



Dirty water builds up, when I drive off it's going to cover the wheel :sad:

That is poor design as you said it means cleaning the wheels again.

From now on because of that selfie, you are now known as Teretto!!

some good sealant on the wheels will sort out that issue. Unless you run moon disks wheels are always going to be a pain to clean!!  :grin: :grin:

The back is in need of a tiny bit more poke imo

Looks awesome though, what's the retail on one of those?

I reckon I'm just going to cut up a sponge and use that to soak it up. They're already sealed in 3 coats of Poorboys Wheel Sealant :wink:

Back sits pretty well as it is, any more poke and it'll stop me from airing out properly:



I've got a black rear plate for shows:

That certainly won't be happening, they were in my living room for a couple of weeks before I got the tyres fitted :grin:
