	Nice Good shine on the paint work as well. You have done a top job with the van and haven't hung about either. You planning on doing anything else like colour coded bumpers etc?

	Yes, flush with the arch. Tiny rub on a right turn from the very edge of the tyre and the arch at the rear. Had to trim the lip off the bumper as well. Miles comfier ride and well worth it. Load rating to 1150 on the wheels, tyres are 110. Price was amazing.....£108 per wheel, 112 per tyre. They are team dynamics rimfire HD, all the others avaliable had a lower load rating and were more expensive. The only ones I prefered were some OZ, quite angular looking things but they are nearly 200 per wheel and the load was less. They are 16in 225/75 all round, I think next time I may just go for 70's on the front though. Potholes are a thing of the past with this rolling radius......rear wheel tramp on wet grass now does not happen, and the speedo reads spot on to 55/60, when it becomes about 1mph too slow. Before on 15in 225/75 van tyres with less tread (I reckon I have gained 2in in diameter in total) the speedo was showing 30 when I was doing 27-28. Also the mileometer is reading 1 less over 15 miles apx.

	cool the wheels would be borderline for me, the rear axle is 2280!! that was weighed with no bike , water, beer in the fridge etc!! looks like steels for me!!

	TBH I think the tyres do as much as the wheels in terms of improving the look. They look different on a van like this. Maybe the BF Goodrich white lettered ones would look even better
