nice choice theyre are the exact rims im saving for, to put on the exact same car but in white, are they 17" or 18", im going for 18s i think.

if you dont mind me asking what did you pay for them, rrp is $2000 with rubber from tempe in syd

looks nice, may wanna drop the suspension next, but im a fan

This is a pick of them on my mates series 1 which is white, they looked good on that too.

Yeah I got them for $2100 but thats with the finance recovery cost added on top which is around 12%.

They are 18 x 8.5 with 235's on the front and 265's on the rear. Youll need to be careful though because on both my mates S1 and my S2 the front rubs on the control arm at full lock. They couldnt get the right combination of spacers either. So in the end they added a 3mm spacer and grinded about 3mm out of the control arm where is was rubbing. Very small amount grinded, and now they are fine. Grip has improved alot.

And yeah, please do take the photo and lower it, would love to see it.

leaving 1-2cm between the wheel well? and the tyres makes the car look best......I personally don't understand this obsession with "dumping it on its ass" look that so many people go for. Makes people looks such try hards.

yeah lowering it doesn't look that much better, I'd get some cool sideskirts that'll make the car look lower without you having to drive 2km/hr over speed bumps. The AH and JU ones from CARMATE looks pretty nice

Yeah, maybe thats the way to go. I plan on changing the suspension down the track, so that will probably have an effect to begin with, and ill go from there.

Nice rims dude..

But i still like your mesh time types rims (in your sig)

But as somebody already said it needs more lowering. You dont fully have to dump it and go 2kms an hour over speed humps..

Right height and it will look the goods..

Add your pics to this thread if you can:

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
