Husky Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 when i kerbed mine in a tiny way i cried for hours like a baby. got those alloygators on now, look ok actually and i feel far less stressed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 yep we fitted these the other weekend, look very minimal on your wheels. they make a big difference when it comes to curbing panic attacks. you need to hurry up and get the pics up of this and a review, now you have driven on them for a week or so.
