    The wheels look good on this car, they aren't quite black tbh, they've got a browny tint to them plus they're really shiney!

    That colour would suit your car well, but can you prise yourself away from the 'Gay Blue' ?

    I would never let me wheels up on the sofa. Just smack it with a rolled up newspaper mate. It'll soon get the message.
