Hi Blackwolf,
I agree that GPS is more accurate as a speedo, but you'd lose the signal in a tunnel, and therefore your speedo. I think until that is overcome they will never be legal.
Also, othe ... |

| Use all the indicators from a BMW. They never get used and even on a 10 year old, clapped out example, they’d be like brand new. |

Hi all,
I've decided that I'd like a set of wheels and tyres, but of course I can't find a supplier that sells both, so I can't buy them fitted and balanced from the same place. In the past I've bo ... |

Hi Brendan,
I've been looking at the Nakatanenga website. I quite like (amongst others) the look of the Dotz steel wheels. Are you going to be stocking these? Any chance you can PM me with a previ ... |

| Hmm, Wolf rims. Hadn't considered those. That's a good thought. At least they'll be approved. They're within the allowed rim width, even if not the recommended 7". (I believe they're 6.5".) |

| Although I guess if I'm fitting 255/85 on 16 inch rims, they recommend a 7" wide rim. 235/85 are supposed to go on 6.5" wide and 7.50 x 16 on 6" wide, so my new wheels will be "spe ... |
