I can't be trusted like that lol. Whenever I amass a good amount of cash I tend to spend it on things like HDTVs and the like. Mind you..you're right I guess. I've decided to go all out on my dub so its time to discipline myself. I guess I'll wait then...I'll save some cash in the end.

right there, I got 195/50/15s off the net with delivery for only £110. They were eprformance falken tyres at that which retail at £46 each. Feeler to sell though as I need some stretch cos the inner and outer arches scrubbing against the tyres.
get spacers as long as you know the tyre/rim/height combination won't be a problem. If you space then out you've also got a chance of scrubbing against the outer arch like mine. So just make sure that doesn't happen. Spacers on the back do help the stance big time if big enough.

Yea ebay is the best bet for tyres. Esp considering how much Im getting raped for insurance now. Standard quotes are £1900 with HiC. So I have no choice but to go 3rd party Fire & Theft with Hy Performance and that still costs me £1000.

^^ Mytyres ain't bad which is where I got my tyres from. I just switched to HIC from Hy Performance although Hy were cheaper. Reason being they didn't cover mods so I moved to HIC which were only £140 higher and cover the mods.

Yo Noz...I'm a bit confused about the convoy to UD. Not a lot of people replying on dub-london. Where are we meeting?

Yeh mytyres are good, and also black circles.
Both will give you an inclusive price of the tyres, delivery and fitting and balancing etc,,
You just need to pay and select the garage

ADT cups? Had a search around but couldn't find which wheels your referring to there, you got a picture of them or anything?
Or do you mean ATS cups?
