If my memory serves me, I think they're allowed to use GUNS in victoria too, to
SHOOT TEH NIGGAHS!



That's bad, mmmmmm'kay.

Coz you know Vic pigs will bust a cap in yo ass at the drop of a hat. Mad





Edit:
Oh yeah - the "tweel" is cool, but UGLY AS SIN !

Put sidewalls on, and it's all good. I wonder how it distorts under HARD cornering . . . .

Yea saw these things a couple of months ago.

I wondered then how the ricers would go, they won't be able to have 1" profiles with 30" rims on their lancers. Very Happy

But how good would they be for brake cooling? Looks pretty good to me.

Plus how flexible are they really? Like you'd probably still do control arm damage if you hit the gutter....
