Back when I was working as a tyre fitter, it wasnt easy BUT im sure that some manufacturers would have made something by now.

PART 1 And Ray, how are you going with ROH and your cracked rims, I find that funny as well what do they say about those in glass houses.

There is no use talking to the owners, I doubt they would know or care.

You made my point perfectly clear thanks Ray.

now can you explain how you got Part 1 to equal Part 2

to be honest i couldn't
but as per usual its ok for some guys to have a laugh or a attack at me and for me to let it pass over

most of the time i do but sometimes it gets up my frock

Ray I wasnt having a dig a such, just pointing out that:

a. rims are load rated and can be a problem
b. I knew as did anyone else that read your thread about the said rims on your 130 that you had had trouble with them.
c. The glass houses comment was coming from the fact that you were trying to push my buttons with you comments re bigjohns post.

Does that put it all together for you, I think your reading a bit much into it all Ray.

I only get a bit pieved when Ive been miss quoted and/or my posts have been quoted and edited to mean something that wasnt supposed to.

Ive seen enough cracked alloys (as stated in many threads) to last me a life time, Ive seen 1 on a Volvo that the spoke was just about to fall out and she used the car to pick her kids up.

Scares the crap out of me, thats why Im just a little passionate about keeping vehicals safe, I havnt prooven that they are not safe but I have pointed out some RWC and ADR problems involved in bolting these rims on so proove it's safe and I have no problem.

I dont really care what it looks like that much, I do think they look stupid but thats not what worries me, I think Ive said that enough now for everyone to get my drift.

By the way, thats the new Mrs Mcrover in front of her Humvee, the old one drove away in her 100 series lol

and hence you may get somebody without your knowledge or expertise who may look at my D3 when all shiny, dark tint, back then 19inch rims and also think the same as the assumption above. So in essence I havent misquoted, I was referring to the assumption as above with my feeble ACA editing, not in respect to tyre sizes etc. Hope that clarifies things,
