Youll save a lot quicker for the engine when youre not paying for petrol.

Hmmm not sure thats true. With a standard wheel I cant see the lights. I can with my 13" Momo.

I think it depends how tall you are and your driving position...

They are aftermarket wheels so most likely have spigot rings fitted, you may not need to have them machined.

Hi Dubsta.

WOW! thanks for that link. Looks very informative. I might have to do some work for a while now, but i'll check it out in detail tonight.

To be honest, I'm looking at lowering my caravelle and upgrading the brakes and suspension, and fitting alternative wheels to improve the safety and handling. What a...
