my bob jane dealer in Campbelltown (who i have dealt with all my life and know well) asked me about the tyres. i said tire rack.. he said we are having a massive meeting about this sort of stuff and we are looking at what we can do to get closer to their pricing.

he said if i need any tyres to check with him before i order from the rack.

$80 fitted and balanced luv yoo long tyme price

There's a guy who's reputable over there that charges $65 a corner. An acquaintance just used him and was really happy with his work. I forgot his business name though

Very nice and aggressive!

Rear looks pretty low, nothing a guard roll won't solve though.

Time to take some better shots.

TireRack have preferred fitters in the US, if sales are high enough to some Aus cities then they need to team up a fixed price fitting service with a few local shops.
Would be even easier if you could ship direct to the tyre store, rock up and drive away with new rubber.

Car looks hot RaihaX

Thanks mate - definitely need a photoshoot. I forgot how much effect different wheels make to a car!

If Tirerack would do that, that would be awesome.

Just got a quote on fender rolling $120 for both the rear.

anyway here is the wheels on my car - I think I am slightly rubbing on the rear left. Not sure whether to raise my car 10mm or roll the fender.

Everyone in the office says my car is too low haha....

ps. I am loving the look of the matte black wheel on my blue! glad I went this route

Yeah, check they haven't damaged the wheel nuts, or more importantly scratched the lug nut area on the wheels with their air gun / drill.
