The wide rear fenders make Simmons 10j (soon to be front wheels) look lame :(

meanwhile at home im busy with the rears.. tried out inner dishes on the outside just to see - would equate to 15j +-.. bit too wide :) ... im thinking 13.5j is going to the the magic number

This is just really sad. No side`s to take but if I were to tell a client that he`d walk .Period.
I was keen the set of Rota`s from BG but was also informed the price had gone to over R20K.
Too rich for my blood.


I think had there been better communication and feedback as the exchange rate things may have worked out for all parties here.

On the exchange rate front, most companies placing orders for goods from overseas will take out forward cover on the exchange rate when placing the order, that effectively locks the exchange rate to whatit is at the time the order was placed.

I don't know the details of how it works, but I know my father's business has done it when making large orders from overseas. I'd imagine the banks or people that deal a lot with imports and exports should know about it. It probably could have saved this whole issue from happening.
