Nope no insurance on the wheels and tires. Im just gonna have to be carefull with the 18"s. Anyhow, im thinking of making them my summer set up, as for the winter, ill set up my 16s as the wholes will be filled with water and my 18s will crack, much safer to stay 16 in the winter. dont u think so?

Thank you guys for the comment. but i did go with 18" 124s and bought them from Wees75, a member here. He has factory dunlop RFTs on them, thats the downside to it, but other then that, perfect condition.
thx guys for the feedback

can ANYONE PLZ TELL ME HOW TO ERASE A PREVIOUS POST OF MINE. IT IS URGENT
hey bteljuice1,
I wish I knew man, the only way I have deleted mine in the past was to erase all text, and place "The item here at the forum that was for sale or in question has been sold, sorry!!"
I would then just sign off, but I have no idea how we can delete that something was ever here?
Your forum friend,
Eddie Presley

Thx presley, totally appreciate it. BTW did you ever get to sell your wheels? AND how low is the aerodynamic kit?it looks really good on your car with those 166. in my country, we have a lot of hills. Meaning a lot of uphills and downhills. it ll probably hit a lot no?
