Title: Wheel Change
Post by: VX1 on 23 May 2009, 19:01:03

Decided to change my wheels, well just one, to a different colour. I have been wanted to do this for a while now and decided to do it after a long time waiting for the weather to come good. So here it is what do you all think?

This is after I had done a slight repair
