   Just wondering if this sort of slit can be fixed? As you can see.. its got plenty of tread on the tyre.. would be a shame if its ruined
   Just want to finally get all the alloys on the god damn thing
   
   
   
   
   
   Also, making it's debut appearance to saxp.. my '52 Desire
   Looks a bit silly without all 4 alloys on though hah
