HORs DONT suck was: (HOR's suck!!! and you pay for it)

["Peter Walsh" <cerksies@hotmail.com>]

I dont know what you are talking about, I have HORs on my 16v, w/ 15x7 
wheels (195-50-15) And the setup kicks ass.  I love them, They handle 
great, look good (I admit, they are low) And were a good price.
