Arrived, fitted and looking great.

Unfortunately he had to remove a weight on the rim and i now have a gap in the paint and need to paint one wheel again. Just a light rub down and re-coat though.

DO NOT PAINT YOUR WHEELS UNTIL YOU HAVE HAD NEW TYRES FITTED.

Also, I can not recommend EVENTTYRES.com enough, the guy was on time, early in fact. They come to your house!! Done in 15 mins, gave loads of great advice.

Great feedback. Glad all went well. :thumleft:

Toyo's will take a few hundred miles to scrub in but afterwards should be even better.

First test drive today... And there is a noticeable improvement. Very happy.
