Not mine either. The wheels float my boat, though...

Btw: When's someone going to sprint a shorty (or to shorty a sprint!?)?

The wheels are known as sprintwires or hotwires. They're reasonably common here, we don't have many locally made choices of 10" wheels.

The chances of being able to register one of those in the UK nowadays is practically zero.

In a couple of short years we have gone from having road legal armchairs & sheds to nothing!

Its a real shame.

Rich & I were discussing this at the weekend & we blame TV programmes like this;

Your not wrong Mark

That program was a bad advert for modified car's, a real kick in the teeth for the UK.

Compared to the better prog's of heavily modified car bodys like american hotrod and overhauling.

Lol some of the wheel spacers they fitted to those vehicles, you would be going through a set of wheel bearings every couple of weeks

Overhauling has some good builds and skills on display but i find the pranks extremely boring, so dont watch that much lol

I would love to have a set of these... But I guess shipping & importing costs would be a killer...

Try living in Australia, shipping stuff half way round the world every time we buy something...
