Rich ahhaha I've legit done that ! regular on CMA mostly dont care for extra 10 percent in pricing the peace of mind is what it makes the experience

Favorite couriers to the date northline, toll and hunters express these guys are the best I've dealt with.

Worst are aus post, fast way couriers and I heard about E-Go Transport

Those who loved my wheels I strongly advise you check out my latest video.

Note music that is used in the video is non copyrighted so don't complain.

Replacement mirrors should be arriving tomorrow with a photoshoot on wednesday.

Will be also making a video of my car soon so subscribe to my channel if you are keen to see the finish product.

They look great, but may I suggest a box of Kleenex find its home in your glove box. Those tyres are fucking narrow as hell. Exposed lip = tears. My 225 Yokohama sit closer to the rim edge than those 235's

Sorry Mr Scorsese but that was soooooooooo fucking boring. By the end of the first minute I wanted to rake my eyeballs out with a fork and feed them to myself.

Three minutes of unwrapping rims and tyres and less than 30 seconds spent on your car, which looks great by the way, but needs more slamming.

Your camera work on the car was really good, the rest wasn't.

Hint: watch it without volume.

That's what I thought as well, I think it's just the rim style unfortunately, or just the angle of the photo's, but does look like they are easily grazed. Normally a 235 tyre would pretty pretty risk free on a 8.5

A 245 would be preferable though on these for your next set.

I have 245's on my 8.5" Works and you'd have to hit a kurb very sideways to hurt them.

Nick: Hey least you're honest ! though i did mention about the music dont have much options when it comes to youtube with copyright and all.
Camera work on the car you mean moving stills? Is that sarcasm?

Just have to continue to make video's til I'm good.

Rich: The only way i could run 245 would be on 245/35 tyre + guard rolled even john said the rear right now was very close to rubbing.

Trolley: this one thing i realized and have to deal with if it happens it happens, ill just get em powdered coated black then back to square one ahahhaha.

Yeh, I think there is always going to be some variance in width/sidewall height between tyre brands. Apparently Yoko's are known to sit a bit wider or something.

Had 245 conti comfort contact, dunlop direzza and dunlop sp600 on the same rim. Conti looks the widest and direzza the narrowest.

Love the rims but the vid did go on a bit long sorry mate. Should have included some rolling vids of the rims on the car maybe? Not just in the driveway. Good work though, keep it up!

Yokos were my first choice especially the ad08r didnt have the budget for them how ever. It was extra 100 a corner.

Wednesday ill be shooting again with photo shoot so it will have rolling shoots and everything thing to do with the car.

By the sounds of it you guys will probably enjoy that video more.
