Toyo's are bleeding good. I was well impressed :)

You could always ask them if they'll package em up for a courier, most people are cool with it

right looks like the gt3's are back in stock now!

so final choice now to be bought this weekend if possible!

gt3's:

slightly lighter
red lip looks great
eagle f1's
ready painted just fit and get on wi it!
red nuts

downsides is its £695
and et40 so sits slightly in arches

Image

or

ronal ls (same style s bbs just call it bbs to save arguement!)


kumho ecsta spt's
around £480 + paint materials
et25 so stick right 00t arch wide phat y0!
couple kg's heavier than the rotas
needs painted black from silver

Image

i also need to buy a used steering rack which looks to be about £200 + fitting
so basically if its the ronals itll cost around the same as the rotas for both the rack and wheels

or if i wait around 3 minutes and win the euromillions ill buy both! very unlikely though!
