B.T.W I paid $250 a tyre from Ian Diffens Joondalup. They must have seen me coming!!

Who rolled the arches? Cost??

See Stuart @ Dent Craft in Myaree for neat and tidy guard rolling.....

Im running 18x7.5" WORK's with Toyo 235/40R18's on my MY06... only done about 50km on them so far.. but gotta say they're pretty nice tyres... also no rubbing so far... and i've been over prolly 20 speed bumps lol... (albany's main street has these big ones lol)

Rolled them myself using my wife's hairdryer, my brothers rubber mallet, and a lot of careful tapping to avoid cracking the paint.

HAHAHA, I'm sure 50km's of driving really gives you a true indication of tyre performance Colbey!! Unless you're meaning 50000kms. Unfortunately the GC8's dont have the room under the guards that the later models have, so guard rolling seems like the only option.
