if you believe wot halfords and the like tell you thats funny.

e.g. im tying to get some 16s ages ago and ask for a price and if they do an ET45 offset

he tells me they do, so i say thanks and ill come back the next day..... over night i find out by doing research they only do ET38 (no good) so i think :S

go back in "you said they do a 45 offset for this wheel and its only 38"

"nah man they do a 45, all our 16s are 45"

"what are u talking abt not all 16 offsets are 45"

"yes dey are man 195/45/16"

"FFS you have no clue thats the tyre profile not the WHEEL offset"

this guy was a "ripspeed specialist"

i asked him if i cud Rip into him for it, asked to see his manager who was rude and told me they wud be fine, i laffed and walked out, i ended up with a ET49 16 inch wheel from elsewhere
