Fitted my new alloys the other night, not sure how but in the same night i managed to warp my brake disks.

Rang around today for the best price, Motormania would not be beaten by anyone and supplied me with a full set of disks and pads for £33.59 inc VAT !!

Bargain

Mate's showing me how to fit them tomorrow to build up some experience

i dont think fitting wheels bears any relation to warping brake disks

try heavy braking
