yeah i have a set too. no issues. |

Ive had a squiz at this crowd on ebay, looks pretty legit but ebay can burn pretty bad sometimes, Well if its as good as you all say Id try em as well for sure, I priced a set of 18" BF GTP style with tyre package $1800 (the guy will come down) so ebay is a heck lot cheaper at $800. But Im pretty keen at getting 19's, my one concern is price of rubber? What difference am I looking at between 18" and 19" rubber? Even just cheap rubber eg. nangkang. Im new to all this jargon.

when ya think about they would have to make them good enough cos if you broke one and caused an accident from defects when being made they would have big law suits
