Since you've got your license Jim you've become a lazy man. Look at the weight you've gained. Looking good though mate.

Suspension hadn't settled in the pics, and it needs a clean, but oh well!!!







7.5x17" Dymags. I'm not sold on the white, but they got that 'MO' look about em, and are still pretty light for a big wheel. Not sure what model they are though
