Doing these next , gonna put these on the wagon with some thin band whitewalls , they are a bit grubby ………


Got the backs of them blasted up , will just clean these up at home - not worth spending money on them if they are going on an EK

Fine cut -




Not as good as the pros but it’s only for a bloody EK
