    I agree, looked at a few different wheels and these ones made me grin straight away, I was planning on doing the two ahipments, they will most likely come from the UK to which I think that there is tax that you also have to pay not quite sure

    I have also heard that they make replica wheels which almost put me off them, however after hearing some good comments from other dub users and looked at them first hand I was quite happy with the manufacturing quality! My only problem is that how will a stretch tyre go with taking the car through spirited drives through the National Park and Wisemans ferry so to speak

    I cant see how a stretched tire would be anything but un-performance like.

    so long as the stretch isnt crazy it can actually increase sidewall stiffness. Obviously sidewall stiffness can reduce comfort.

    It all just depends though i guess. If u stretch a lot then maybe that can adversely effect the tyres contact patch?

    I reckon big stretch looks a bit dumb anyways though.

    Like Tim said, it may even help with cornering with reduced sidewall flex. I say "may" as this is what I've heard. The first time I've heard of stretching tyres was in drifting. If stretched tyres can stay on a car that is driven sideways most of the time, it should be able to withstand a few twisties!
