or are they? i've read a few threads on a few different forums and from what i can see there is no specific law against them. The general consensus seems to be that they are illegal but no one has found any proof yet.  :undecided:

if they were illegal wouldn't the company making them have to produce some sort of disclaimer saying that they aren't for road or motorsport use?

only way i can see them being illegal is if the wheel arch doesnt cover them
