Tires are on, but had a slight problem yesterday.
A few hours after getting back home, the wheels where sat in the hall, and just from sitting there the weights for balancing just fell off!! guess it cant stick to the powder coat!!! :sad: will take them back and see if they can re balance them!! They should take their time more (who could that be?) :lol:

CHUNKY!! :grin:
