From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

fuck off!

wheels are a new thing to you, when you were born cars had holes in the floor pan for your feet and the wheels were still square!

well whack them on black and see what you think

silver would look awesome though

this is it, i think black would look to dark on my car

but i'll see what its like with them on first

yeah it may do - but as they are black no harm in looking first

With them dark, they will look 'bad boy blud'... dont think they would suit it. A light colour on the other hand - win. Or green! everyone loves green!

_________________

i'll get them on and could you photoshop some colours for me ?

I love dark wheels but see where others are coming from, get them and get a piccie! Nice choice though, im feeling the green, sounds larey as fook

Yeah of course Terry!
