Universal wheel spacers

Post by timwilks13 » Thu May 23, 2013 2:15 pm

Has anyone used universal spacers or is it best to get the properly fitted ones, because if they're fine these just seem a decent price?

Haha nice bit of salesman ship! Ill consider it, i just love the tyres im running at the moment, and im not sure my mate would be over the moon if i add a 3rd set of wheels to his garage. In my defense he did say "anything you need storing just bring it over", think he is regretting it now haha
