Ah, the fun never stops! Well, I'll let you get back to it.

I love those wheels too! Why can't you get non runflats on your R99s? That way its much cheaper to replace. You'll need to tell your insurance though and maybe get a puncture repair kit.

Yeh, I could get non runflats on the R99's, but I've virtually two new ones upfront and the rears are still pretty decent. So I suppose its just waiting for them to wear down.

I really like the RC's, but I reckon the car would definatley need dropping 30mm in order for them to sit right.

Don't get me wrong, I do love my current wheels, but these RC's have got me thinking.
