Not really heard of them. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Achilles/123S.htm How come you went for those anyway @SL03JOE? Don't pay extra money just for a brand name, cheaper to buy, very good reviews online and from friends. Plus tread patten looks cool to!

Not terrible but nowhere near the best either. Personal choice and all that I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot people think oo rocket bunny must be a show pony, max camber car. Where it isn't at all it's just people stereotyping as per usual in the car scene. Which is the main reason I left the vag scene, spend 25k making their car faster but then fit cheap replica wheels or cheap eBay parts. Sorry not meant to be a rant, but sick of people just thinking because I'm doing wide body that it's just going to be a show car.

Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 I didn't think it looked show pony. The wheels look like they fit on this one. Reminds me more of seventies race cars. Porsche 935s and the like... Not that there's anything wrong with the slammed and cambered thing - but not what I'd choose... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted March 24, 2016 Like this... The letters were mounted on black mesh... of course - only works for the old black background plates (which we should have kept too! So much cooler...) Most car designs are compromised by having to have stupid great yellow and white rectangles stuck on either end...
