Also, compare prices for a 215/60/15. This size sits nicely on the factory Fairy rim and with an improvement in handling.

Those supercats did me proud on the old factory Mont rims... $100 fitted is a fair price, I paid slightly more for the 205/65/15's... You should also maybe consider the 215/60/15.

if your about to spend $400 on new tyres, then you might as well save a little more and get some used 16 or 17" rims

Spending $245-$265 on two new tyres and an alignment, I can only just afford that. Not keen on spending more than that and then having to fork out for new rubber on top of that!

Besides, now that it's lowered, I am very happy with the look with the EF mont rims :D pics soon

Getting those red bits done in boring old gray could be the go... Or BLACK..... You know what I'm talking about.

Was out PICK_A_PART today and at Bunnings at 4:45. The lady I am fixing the toilet for wasn't home till 5:30, and I was a bit tired after pulling these two windows out of a Mazda for the missuses hot mate... Would have stopped by to kill a few minutes and wait for the chick with the toilet to come home, but thought Nat may have been there and been keeping you on your short p***y whipped leash.

So rather than incurring the wrath of Nat (or you incurring the wrath of Nat) for whichever misdemeanor offense she decides upon at the time, I simply drove home and will go out and fix that damn toilet another day.

Nah... It's too much like hard work removing number plates. I leave that to the Photoshop experts.
