Yeah had to get tyres for them first, student-hood slows that down somewhat. Went for Kumho KU31s 205/40/R17, K-Mart bloke told me they wouldn't inflate on a 7.5" wide wheels, stretch is minimal and I've had 205s on 7.5" for around 4 years but I guess they operate in conservative boundaries for their own reasons. Option 1 were cheaper and had good service, and the young fella at the desk was interested in chatting about the wheels, always like places that have a bit of passion about what they do.

Chch mostly, thinking of popping up to AKL for a few days in there somewhere (it's my home town after all), depends if a mates in town then or not. I'll keep an eye on VASK and try and make it to something, saw so many nice VWs when I was there last. Will keep in touch if Aucksville is on the cards.

Hehe, reminds me of when I was getting my wheels fitted to my VR. JAX, Bridgestone and Beaurepairs all wouldn't touch it cause I was tryna put 205s on my 9 inch rears, in the end it was Tempe Tyres (who have a bit of a funny reputation...) who did it!

EDIT- And we haven't died so far...
