New 22" Alloys & Tyres Fitted

Post by hoops » Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:33 pm

I finally took the plunge and fitted the 22" alloys and new tyres. Shame they are not as nicely staggered as the 21" Star Spokes, although they are still staggered. I also had them powder coated in a specific gunmetal grey so they blend in a little more. I am not 100% happy with my choice but they will do for the time being or until I get bored again! Im now trying to figure out what, if anything, I want to do next.
