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 :?

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.
