thanks to waue posting this link i got a really big bargain the tyres are worth what i paid for the whole set on their own..

1 brand new set of flat wheel bolts

1 brand new set of mcguard locker wheel bolts (fecking halfrauds £36.99 for these lockers)


this wheel is the lowest tread wise others are better than this

Nice them

iwonder what he was going to fit them on ?
there reinforced tyres perhaps he had a puggy Mpv,

Reinforced tyres are expensive

[Gary406]

only just realized tyres are 95W

[Gary406]

he said he ordered the wheels when he had a 406 2.0 turbo. before the wheels arrived the cambelt snapped and he got a different car.

forgeting he had allready paid for the wheels they have been sat in his garage for 3 years .

i wondered why it said reinforced. there all the same

dunlops 95w reinforced

[Gary406]

the center caps still have the plastic protective sticker on

[lozz]

Dunlop is good in the wet
they will last you a while they dont wear out quick like some other makes

[Gary406]

i was gonna say i might stick with dunlops if their good in the wet, but looking at dunlop prices think i wont bother.

Done well there Gary

[Gary406]

next job = lower it

i know some say it ruins it but i dont care i want it lowered they look so much better

Maybe just go with a 25mm drop?
I know 40mm seems the norm these days

are there springs available for a 25mm drop ? i thought 35-40mm was minimum ?

a 25mm drop would be really good. that bit lower but still have some height.
