I still dont understand the fascination with stupendous amounts of camber and the oversized rubbers that hit the guards

somehow its cool to have your bowels forced into your lungs when u drive around with shithouse offsets and low profile rubbers

ffs we're in australia here, kiss your $2000 rubbers goodbye every 6 months with that much camber and the potholes

who spends $2000 on rubber?

you need to change tyre shops then

[Dohmar]

well i figure, why by shit rubber if u drive a decent car? Im running stock 16's and my toyo t1r's come in around $880 odd for the rubbers

when i factor in the price increase for 18" rubbers >if< i was gonna get 18's, and the rubbers are pretty decent like the goodyear eagle f1 assymetric, it comes out to damn near $2k sure u can shop around but still, you go up two inches in rim diameter and be paying like twice as much

i bought 18inch bridgestone potenza's 80% tread in top condition a number of times for $180 each. Very good tyres and they last ages from Used Tyre mart. I could afford to buy brand spankin new tyres but I dont see the point in spending $2000 for tyres that just wear out anyway.

nice and cheap if u got the connections but most of us peons have to go to a tyre place and have them balanced, fitted and aligned... not all of us are mechanics

who ever is paying 2k for 18" tyres that arent high end R compound tyres or something is getting raped.

lol nissdik, I wondered how long it would be before the dribble started again......having said that, I don't mind a bit of sarcasm from mates .

You must be a very little man with a 10ft tall keyboard......can't wait to get acquainted!

I got Brand spanking new Bridgestone Potenza RE001 rubber for my line for....$209 fitted and balanced

235/45/R17's for $209 and no you dont need connections to get a bargain, and i rate the RE001 very very highly as to the amount of grip they offer on these Adelaide roads, very impressed with the tyre performance.....and I am no mechanic either

So $180 for 18's with 80% tread left sounds fairly decent price too ryan
