Default do black wheels suit the shed ?

just wondering,,, i like honesty ( yes helen you can get your own back)

I don't like the wheels, but the grills look good.

rear tyres are MENT to be bigger,,, extra gearing when on motorways,,, and there also 9ins wide i think on the rear

remember this is a daily car so elasctic band tyres aint a good idea due to shite in the road/comfort of driving and im just too fucking tight to buy low profile tyres that are 245 wide

Not keen on the wheels personally, i think they'd be better in silver. Maybe it looks much better in the daylight though. But i like the black grill.
