Not what I need for the foothills of yorkshire then!! pot-hole city as it is!!

Alright matey, where in sunny Yorkshire as I'm in sunny Leeds ???

I live near denby dale, which is south huddersfield, north barnsley \ sheffield. Really near to Holmfirth so there's loads of windy bumpy roads and stuff up and down hills and resevoirs etc.
I'm quite close to the M1 so it's no probs to get to leeds in a morning ;) except for the damn traffic!!

Check out the Brock B2 in 15" on this site... http://styledynamix.co.uk/

Right, I've bought some 7x15" Brock B2's from styledynamix.co.uk they're really friendly and are going to try and get them to me for tuesday  :) :) :)
I went for the 195/45 tyres as it was only an extra tenner a corner ;)
and I got free delivery, alloy valves and some locking nuts.
All in for ?455
Stand by for pictures ;)

Oh, I also picked up 1/4 litre of paint to spray my eyebrow spoiler too on saturday, so soon as my mate has cleaned his gun & spray area (his garage!! currently occupied by his class 5 grasstracker)  then he'll spray my spoiler for me... stand by for those pics also.

Has anyone else had to mod their brake calipers on their cabiolet because they catch on their deep dished rims?

I've got 256mm discs and mk2 calipers sat inside mydeep dish 14's and they dont give me a problem. Very little clearance, but you only need a fraction for it to work.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

Cheers m8, they're being delivered tomorrow so I'll fit em after work and see.
The guy at stylesdynamix said cab calipers were bigger than standard ones and they'd had to shave a few to stop them catching on the rims.
They do the mod for free tho, but they're near london and i'm near leeds!
