wana sell ya rims sean?

not quite sure Adrian, would have to speak with the old man and we would need replacement rims though
nah thats cool, your are wider than mine, mine are on 235's so that explians that,

hope you dont have to replace them soon, they are en expensive size lol
sadly the tyres werent new when they fitted them, they will be replaced in the near future
out side edge were warn so i reckon they had a bad wheel alignment and they were on the front
although we are not getting the 245's again, back down to 235's
