I guess supply has outstripped demand within that timeframe to drive the price down... unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I looked over at my shiny, red, tuned FG with 19s and new Nittos and felt happy again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
