NickVR6 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Well I can't say its been a smooth ride, and its lucky i have Mr Visa le Spania to help me out. But i've finally got a set of usuable rims i thought i could never afford! I won't go into the boring details but I just hope the previous owner of these wheels gets mauled to death by a thousand rabbid badgers and chokes on his frankfarter. :2gunfire: Anyway, hopefully some picks of them on the car tommorrow and the main point of the post other than showing off is to say a MASSIVE thanks to Dave-Grade A for being a star, especially at a tricky time when he did'nt need to be listenning to me. And Steve-Supercharged for going out of his way to help me out. Cheers guys :wink: and good tip on the rubber Kev, loving the tyres! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 6, 2006 Well done Nick! Loving the Kumho KU15s, they've got a well sexy tread pattern ;-) They are actually a track optimised tyre I was recently told, but road legal! Phenomenal dry grip, it really is good.... not bad in the wet either, but no F1 though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
