unless you can find them for £45 each or less, hes got a great deal. pointless telling him what other retailers have tbh!
car looks good on them. 100x better than big square shouldered 45s any day

Hello, I used to be able to get tyres cheap but they were actually some I was selling for a mate so I wouldn't be able to get them that cheap again.
