They look great, but how does the car handle on 18"s?

Cripes - I know what you mean - I went from stock 15" Toyota alloys to 17"s on my last tubby, and nearly lost every tooth in my head every time I drove over a bump. The suspension had been dropped several CMs as well, so I wasn't surprised! :)

Nice wheels, the car sits at a nice height too, most seem to go into 4x4 mode when they get 18's :)

Why is it that when you are a certain age you get socks and don't want them but then when you do want some people buy you wine?

Want to do some swaps? :)

LOL!
I think the theory was to buy lots of socks the exactly the same and discard the old socks in the process. Therefore when it comes to pairing them up they'll all be identical, thus saving precious time!
Would have worked well in theory had it not been for several people buying black socks with a slight difference making the process - 'a right kafuffle!'

Ooops thread hijack methinks :wink:
