thanks guy's actually aron i just wondered if youu would sell me your 5th ronal because i'm thinking of getting a roof rack to finish the euro look and i think a spare ronal would look the tits on it. what do you guys think because a roof rack is one of those marmite mods.either that or a chequerd roof but evryone seems to have these

Should be immense when finished!
But stretched 165/50's with all that power! Are you mad!  It was bad enough in my old van on 175/50's on an 8" wide rim with an XE, let alone a tuned LET!
And as for the roof rack, everyone will hate it! I tried one, and i did like it for a while but went in a different route so got rid

i have a massive concern about the tyres aswell lads but one thing that really annoys me is when people buy euro rims but dnt have stretched tyres. i have a pair of cav slabs which are going to be vinyl chequered just for racing wheels. i havn't got nething to prove so i'd rather have the look with the ronals but then i'll just throw the slbs on wen i know im going out to race. i'd love o make some banded steelies but havn't got a clue where to start
and scaron5188 if u do make a roof rack and dont like it give me a shout....i'd be intrested in buying it from you
