Bevan could certainly borrow the 15's . There is almost no tread left on the inside. this would finish them off real good :mrgreen: 8) .
possebly even still suitable for a skidpan.....
these 16's should get me through for a few months......hopefully by then there may be more news on thwe azenis RT615's in 16 size.



here is hoping. :?

Amazing that with all the rim choices, one of the best looking is the NB8B rim.

Great stuff STM! I never really liked the NB8B rims but they sure look hot on a lowered NA! :D

P.S. I like how you've purposely left out the nose of the car in that shot 8)
