I've been struck by the Cossie curse, but I doubled it up by adding Cossie management and brakes as well! :lol:

The car hasn't run properly for over 480 days now!

Only another few more to go though - sorting out the bracket tomorrow :)

Cheers,

Mine were fine

Hsf them on 4 months no problems

I said ''Sod the curse'' and I ended up buying some 7 x 16" Team Dynamics rims :rolleyes:

:idea: This "curse" thing seems more than just a coincidence! :o :lol:

Seriously, my previous RS1800 (M252GHP, Java blue) was stolen by pikeys and stripped for parts then burnt out, That had cossie rims on...

...Which I managed to get back from the police after they impounded the thieving scumbag's other fez which had all MY parts on! :x

These wheels are on the "Manj" now - I won't sleep tonight!! :aaah:

the wheel selling thing is just because youve had the problem while the wheels have been on and fixed them nothing else would go rong if youve just fixed most things that usually go rong lol :D

Just noticed this and omg

i just bought and fitted a set but i bought them off a guy who wrote his escort off with them on it and the wheels survived

1. maybe the wheels cause handling faults

2. bottom end fault?? maybe cos wheels are bigger you have to hammer the car to get it to go as fast

3. alternator cars lowered? more vibration

.......or maybe the are just cursed so wish me luck

lol lol lol
