Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Who gives a flying f**k how he payed for it. Looks like the green eyed monster coming out...
Get some vids up ;)
IIRC you can buy different centre bore spigot (sp?) rings for the 'leggra' range? well you can for the Super versions. If it was wrong you just buy the correct rings.

Does this to you look like a problem rather than just the cams ?

Folk will be asking what mpg it gets next haha
Make sure their round when you do find some. Their not the strongest wheel.
I bought a set off here and 2 were bent. Bent one of my own a while back. My mate bent some of hers, all through normal driving
