damn George, This is going to look sweet!!

Remember to get at least 1000km on your new tyres before you fit the whitewalls, as it give's any chemical residue a chance to seep from the rubber. This is what make's whitewall flaps turn into a shitty yellowy brown colour.

Can't wait to see them on 8)
