    they were $2,400 with tires from bob jane.

    But they were the more expensive ones, and the only reason i got them because it as interest free and repayment free deal for 15 months

    Hell yeah! I can feel the bumps on the road more though but the grip has improved dramatically!

    Yeah i noticed that with my old car when i got my rims on it. The grip change is huge. Although, what size rims did you have before hand? Cos i didnt think that the bumps would become a whole lot different.

    Hmm, not a big fan of them at all, but if you like them, then good pick up.

    That seams really expensive, but it really depends what tyres you got...

    Don't know what you mean by convex.

    Mate of mine said they were crap when I showed him photos, then he saw them for real and changed his mind! I reckon after having them for couple weeks they really bring a different look to th car. Everyone buys the same stiff these days...usually!
