    They're nice, what are they ?

    Take it your valve stems don't have a small nut on them then ? Nowhere to get a spanner on and loosen them off ?

    Valve stems come off with a stanley knife. Or else get a pair of pliers and pull on them and they come out. Disposable.

    They're Lenso's(I know cheap and crappy knock offs) but they're a knock off of Kahn RSS's but they're about 800 a corner from memory so I went for the cheap and cheerfull.



    and yes Tim I know what pulling is...... like what could be done to a certain someones missing VR6 fuel pump....

    I actually had a set of these(lensos) previously and they suited the mk2 down to a tee and I stupidly sold them, and been hunting a set even since.....

    I have excellent personal hygene!

    Will be sticking with these for some time.......unless I win lotto in which case I'd shell out for the real deal Kahns..... and yes would still drive the mk2 regularly if I won lotto.

    Tim where's ur VR6 fuel pump???

    Those rims aren't a million miles off the 16" sparco ones I bought for the R specs. 17's just make you want to slam it on bags!
