Re: Gaz's 1.9 Turbo Diesel
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

I know 40mm seems the norm these days

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