hey i passed my test a few weeks back and i decided to wait until im 19 (on sunday  ) because i save £250 on my insurance....
well anyway, seeing that my car had been sitting in my grans garage for the past 11 months undriven a few problems had occured! today, thanks to halfords lol i sorted them out... i managed to change my wheels over (had a totally dead tyre) and install my new battery. also today i phoned up my insurance and thats all sorted  only thing left to so is get the tax...
unfortunity i have to wait until monday for that seeing as though the post office is shut on sunday  anyway one little piece of advice was... shall i get my wheels now? because i think im gonna curb them to shit as this is my first ever car, i dunno if i should wait a bit until im more confident, but at the same time i wanna get them on there asap! whatcha reckon? cheers for any advice!
btw i plan to get wolfrace ikon plus in shadow chrome (15"  )

Probably best to wait a few months, so you can get used to driving the car, and you can curb the standard ones to your hearts content to get it out of your system

don't put em on straight away, practice a bit of parking first.
when i park i always reverse in. with the passanger mirror pointing slightly downward so i can see wher the kerb is in relation to ma car.
i neva drive straight in to a parking bay cause it is far too easy to fuck up your front alloy this way.
hope you get me drift!

Alternitively, you could just never park, or park 2 foot away from the kerb!
Ilford, other end of the A127 to you
