I am favouring for air shocks, but some have said the cheapest way is to get extended rear spring s...

New wheels

Hi All Just got my new wheels on so thought I would show you all. These are chromed steel, 7 x 15 - called Astro Supreme. They are from Northants Tyres, they have them in quite a few sizes, all at £59.50 each + VAT, which I think is a bargain. :shock: 235/60's on the back but I had to cut the arch l...
