The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

they were off my friends Lh A9X Holden torana, that i mini tubed for him
to make them fit better on his car.
The simmons fit the wheel tubs on the challenger, but the springs would have to be moved inboard
of the rails, I didnt want to do the mod to my challenger, i have to say that the big 15 inch tyres
are my favorite look on the car, they didnt have a big side wall which made it look better.

I understand why they are so big now, those flared up Turdrunners do fit big rubber under the rear.
But those wheels really did look good, i would have done the mod when you were at that stage, but i would not cut it up now you have colour old mate :2thumbs:

That Holden looks sweet with those rims but not nearly as good as those slicks look on the challenger. Keep up the good work.
