it wasnt the wheels that were the problem it was their brakes, the discs fouled the t/r/ends and the calipers fouled the discs,hopefully theyve got their act together by now? paul,thats a good price for 6 pot set up

No, he just mentioned something about "By hook or by crook, I will lay waste to that Franco's car" - do you know anything about that?
