Are your tyres really low profile garret?
It might just be the angle but your wheels look abit small...

At least my photochop didn't have overspray on the tyres :P

Looks good Terry... what did you paint them with? I need to redo my rims shortly (I'm thinking of grinding all the chinese ricer words off then repainting)
