Title: Alloy hubbed Vs Sealed Bearing Tuffs
Post by: andyb77 on March 16, 2009, 06:40 PM: i know the ally hubbed are more sought after than the others - is this just cos they're OS or are there issues with the sealed ones?

reason i ask is i can't find any ally hubbed in blue for less than a small 3-bed semi so thinking about getting sealed ::)

by the way is it possible to dye the sealed ones as you can with the ally hubbed?

Saw these in your For Sale post mate. Just didn't want black ones - white or blue would be spot on. Cheers anyway :daumenhoch:
