I noticed that you went back to your stock wheels. Was it for comfort on the long journey or were you protecting your 18s from the rough roads?

Yeah i went back to my stockers for a few reasons.....
1. i wasn't sure how the roads would be, but had no problems they were pretty good all the way out. It was mostly the side streets in Sydney that were really rough. :unsure:
2. The rubber on my stockers was only a month old before I put the car away last year, so i figured i'd put the K's on the brand new 15" Kumho's instead of the 18" Toyo's :D
3. It just cost me $200 + $66 brokerage for a set new center caps for the 18's, so i'd hate to see what it would cost to have another rim shipped all the way up here by UPS :angry:
4. the stockers are way lighter than my 18's too! SO i probably saved a bunch on my fuel milage too, which was good since the last stop for gas was just before Montreal and cost $42 @ $1.34.9/L :(
