Are those tyres still legal on the road dub Singh?

watched a TV police documentary the other day, when a mk3 was pulled over and given 3 points for wheels being too big for the arch's and tyres to small for the rims.

I think as long as the tread is under the arch you're legal Stevo

Thought I'd put mine up as people are always asking to see powdercoated for the monzas...

I've had a lot of issues getting these refurbed, kwik fit messed up the fronts after a tyre change and after negotiating them paying for the refurb I dropped them off at a place I went to look at.... first time round they had issues masking off with the tape lifting and the outcome was terrible... second attempt was better masking off but not great and to add insult to injury... they sprayed the faces the wrong colour...

these are done monza II style black inners with what should have been a black chrome (silver) faces however the guy must have had an inspiration whilst working and sprayed them smoked chrome which is a very dark grey...

They will have to stay this way till I can get them to someone who can get it right first time round.... but pics anyway... sorry no shots on the car yet...

Liking those Skavia, any chance you can show them from a slightly wider angle so you get a bit more of a feel of how they fit with the rest of the car
