Hi Ricster,


I opted for designed 4x4 rims from reputable suppliers. I have Mickey Thompson Side Bitters on. Visit ATS and see what you can get from them.

I took the Iron Maiden shopping this morning... :biggrin: ..... for shoes......

I hunted around for prices...... from Lombards in Randburg to HI-Q in Meyerton... this #$%@^ lost a sale cause he is incompetent and probably cannot read a catalogue for what size tyre is a 33.5" OD tyre to fit a 16" rim, to a VERY helpfull HI-Q store at Comaro Crossing in the south of JHB. If you want to know the prices I paid....PM me..... I was very happy. They promised the tyres would be there at 10H00 this morning and at 09H50I got a phone call to say my tyres were there and waiting for me.
