I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

i saw some on another car... which looked OK... i wonderhow thick the wheels have to be to support the car...

edit:

not the picture i saw before, but...

as long as the roads are in a1 condition, shouldn't be a problem having these on...

It'll be another clear plastic. Acrylic would be too brittle to bolt through.
