i mean i was going to get 2 firestones and fit them my self but if i did that id end up keeping them. im confused with all this arch stuff, the front was fine but the rear has been dropped 80mm and its been fine with the steels. im just not sure on the alloys. how close can you get to the side? and i think there was abit of clearance on the top. :undecided:

can you run two different wheels e.g steels on the front and alloys on the rear?

bury st edmunds i have told you this before! :rolleyes:
hehe

Where i Bury St Edmonds? My Sister in Law lives in Gt Barton. That near you?

Cool. I live in Chester up in the North West but usually get down there 2-3 times a year.
Also the Mother in law lives almost opposite the Geyhound pub, I expect you know where that is also.
Will keep a look out for you when next in town, give you the old nod, flashy lights stuff!
Cheers

stay with steels.
or go for some RA's? Cheap enough.
only problem with cups is they only look cool with serious dished rims...

as long as the tyres / wheels are the same size on the axle i believe i.e steels on front, alloys on back ;)
