    Some of the new Kumhos are quite good. Have a look at the newer Sumitomos aswell if you want good cheap tyres. Very very sticky tires and seem to last quite some time. Alot of my mates skid (drift) on them as steer tyres and love em.

    Thanks Dom, I might give you a holla when looking at options. As far as I know, the Kumho Ecsta KU31's go for $110 at tempe fitted and balanced. If I could get that for $90 I'd be very happy (DOM...)

    EDIT: While searching eBay with a fine-toothed comb, I emailed a seller regarding tyres for the price and he came back to me with Achilles ATR Sport's. $100 fitted and balanced, and they actually look like a good tyre! Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

    DOUBLE EDIT: Dom, PRE-T-T-Y sure you should wrap your Volks and stick them on your fricken' car!

    My thoughts exactly. Saw the talk of tyres and got totally distracted by the shiny chrome lip!

    What are they? I can't see any centres mate!
    Did you get them from Tempe, cos I'm pretty sure I saw a similar set there

    And I'm pretty sure this is Mickey's thread if I remember correctly, Mickey...

    Ask Lorenz for a link on spacers. You can pick up spacers to fit your hub and your stud pattern, shipped to your front door, for $90.

    Trust me mate, if my wheels aren't phat enough I'm spending $180 on the best thing I think I could hehehe
