    Ill see if I can get some this weekend, apparently its at Goodwood. :nod:

    BTW, relatively speaking, fitting £20K wheels to a £300K SLR is about the same as fitting £300 of wheels to a £4500 200SX ......... ;)

    I think he means that at 1k the tyres are pretty cheap. But he's obviously been bummed for a set of runflats for his previous 120d in the past :D

    Do they look a bit stretched to anyone else, or is it just me?

    For £20k i was hoping they'd look a bit better than that? They just look "fairly" posh set of wheels but nothing that special.

    Defo got bummed, 245/35/18 bridgestone potenza run flats, £270 each fitted. I really loved the run flats, no flex in the sidewalls:D

    This is a front tire after 15k miles then 4 laps of the nurburgring, in the background is a proper tire, 19" Michelin cup sport plus on csl wheels

    lol at some of the comments, you forget that, to some people, money literally doesnt mean anything... you see a set of wheels you like, you buy them, if 20k isnt a drop in the ocean to you it could be £200, or £20k

    ..... oh to be in that situation!
