Love the skinny little "snow" tyres you have on the beast at the moment

Expecting deep drifts are you?

that's not bad. i had to detail a car while it was at a body shop and though i'd ask how much to get wheels painted. got quoted £40 per wheel just for the painting. was doing the actual refurb myself.

If you have a spare set of wheels so you can drop yours off there is somewhere on canvey (JP Polishing)that will do all for wheels for about £200. Have a look at this link, I think a few people have used them before!
