IF you do want the Arospeed RS-GT, talk to me, and I'm sure you can get them ALOT cheaper than $2k.

If you have a potential licence problem can you afford to think about new wheels?

and as for the license problem it turned out i only lost 5pts and a $400 fine so i still have my license.... ow and gav they were $1700 for all 4 with the nexen ruber.... but if you can get me all that on a GE (they charge more to do this) for less than i am all ears... this needs to be done fast as currently i am car less... and driving mums car.. as much as i wish i had more time too really look around etc and if i had the time i would hit dan up for a set of MS ones but thats not really an option for me atm cheers Last edited by skitz; 23-05-2007 at 06:52 PM. |
