Got the wheels home. Took some pics, and if I've read the How To correctly, they should appear somewhere below this....in theory.
I'll see how I go. Sorry for all the shots, but I've never really had really flash wheels before, and certainly never brand new. Apologies for some of the photos as well - they look so much better on the phone...

These are an example of the scratch marks I was talking about.
But as you can see, the marks are just left over dirt/mud - it came off with a wet finger and a bit of rubbing. The paint is perfect.
Sizing it up
SO yeah, I'm pretty excited. More so than the wife - although secretly I think she is a bit interested. Hope she doesn't figure out how to navigate to the tyre & wheel section of the forum.
I also have my sisters boyfriend on the lookout for tyres - he has a mate that works at a tyre joint somewhere - maybe a kmart auto or the like. Anywho, he's gonna enquire and see what he can do.
Anywho that's me. Enjoy - if that's your thing.
GM out.
