The bronze just looks more solid to me, I think there's too much going on with the black and silver also the white would be a pain in the ass to keep clean

Sure, Ive no idea on the pricing of rotas, must be pretty good to beat a 6ul.
Sounds great.

840 delivered for 15x8 +0 sounds cheap to me I was thinking about 6uL but I can only afford the 15x7 being an apprentice mechanic isn't fun on the old wallet

NitroDann, can you throw us some pictures of 9 inch 6ULs?

Google isn't really showing me much in the search results area...
