Bit out there Mick, they're only $520 and postage would be maybe $50 at most. Don't know where you were looking.

I can tell you they're not thieves Mick as I've gotten parts from them for less than what you'd pay in the US. Some for what it would cost me to bring them in and occasionally a bit more. Postage out of the US now that's thieves, yet in the us costs stuff all. I'm still waiting for an interior light I won on eBay a week and a half ago... Postage sucks.

The question now is can I take 4 caps as carry on luggage as I'm literally staying 15 minutes from Hubcap Mikes in August!

I kinda got lucky with the back being as low as it is and the spats, so I only needed 2 coz it would of been a waste for the rears

i don't know DR it was definately johns rod and custom but the page was different to that i think i got there through google and they were definately $695 or $700 15"were cheaper, but anyway even at $520 + post it's still over $100 dearer than what i can get them delivered to my door for from the states

thanks Eskii that kinda asnwers my question that they won't go on a standard HT/HG wheel as i think that is what the ROH ones are set up as, if i go this way i'll just get the horrible wheels and hope i never lose a cap :shock: :lol:

Haha stance! I love the way it looks now, my last car had a rediculous "stance" that won me a few awards at some car shows but this is way more practicle and it can actually be driven. Before this beast I was all import cars (sorry) aswell as the mentioned car I had a 11sec daily driven toyota haha I like driving this and not getting harrassed buy the police, just the occasional 'nice car mate' getting yelled out the window
