Not sure if it is the angle or zoom of the pics, but the wheels look tiny...especially in the second to last shot. Big improvement though.

new wheels are a big improvement. seems like those others belong on a a beemer or something. your pics take up my whole screen. try doing them as a "large thumbnail" as opposed to regular size before you embed them. jealous of the beach area you are at too
