i got a defect for ride height (had 4 people in the car) wrong load rating on the 20's and my steering wheel because the center wasnt padded.

got it fixed on the sunday so the car is sittin on 15" turbo blades with a stock EA steering wheel... looks a tad strange,

and yeah i think i jinxed myself a little but the cop was nice to me so i didnt have any attitude he was just doing what he got told to do by his boss...

so he didn't do ya for having 20's just that the load rating was wrong? do you have adapters or are they the right offset?

20's are still legal on our cars as long as the rolling diameter is within so many mm's of standard wheels. Sorry can't remember the exact figures tho.

Kinda glad I didn't go now as I would have been risking a yellow sticker too, especially up in Shep with so many coppers around.

Sounds like BROCKYB8. He's still on these forums although he's also on e-series. He's got GMTEZR plates on his white Brock EA.
