will do baz! im hoping i wont have to roll my guards hence the thinner tyres..

i have a mate who works at bobjane hes ordering them in for me.. price around $1849.00 not bad considering $1250 just for wheels and thats for the sizes mentioned above but they are not 100% decided until i take the car in there and we sus out what fits best!

how long did yours take to be shipped to you? im hoping to get them before x-mas ordered them two weeks ago..
