As a few have done review threads, I thought I'd start one for these that I had fitted a few weekends ago. After getting them fitted, I have to admit they felt horrible. This was mainly due to the fact that I had taken off very squared tyres and put these on which were a lot sharper due to that rea...

Lol.... Cheers chaps..if I do get one will be new. Plus I'm leaning towards a gs I think.
