nah Damo - I am after 18"s. And those rims are insanely differently offset - the difference between 8" +37 and 9" +28 is 21mm. the fronts are not offset enough and the rears are TOO offset.

My perfect offsets are:

18 x 8 +25-+28

18 x 8.5 +31-+34

18 x 9 +37-+40

18 x 9.5 +44-+47

All of those sizes leave the wheels between 33mm and 30mm wider track than stock, and fill the guards nicely without rubbing or needing rolling. I am also keen on same width wheels front to rear (which is how the car comes stock), so I can rotate tyres properly. I am sick of staggered offsets.

Thanks heaps for the heads-up Chad - that price is amazing - but they just don't do much for me I'm afraid. Did a mock-up of them - what do you think? Plain is my thought. Especially compared with polished CE28Ns, or even the polished lip black ones I posted earlier.

Here's My suggestions,

Lenso Type M

They need to be big 18-19, and the car will need to be lowered. But they will look TOUGH. and they are cheap and can be bought individually if one of them gets damaged.

I've got slotted RDA's. I havent noticed much rotor wear at this stage as I've only gone through one set of the QFM's so far. But the disks still feel like new so i'm guessing rotor wear would be very little. I got 2 track days and a bit of street driving out of the pads so very happy with them.

Thanks for the info', Chad.

I'm running RDA slotted rotors too.

I considered the Lenso Type M, they're a good looking rim. In the end though, no dish = no dice :) I have a feeling Andrew will agree.

i actually approve of those wheels...

Well for the first course we had the following:

3 slices of toasted bread

3 eggs, sunny side up

250grams of bacon

smokey bbq sauce

So, double decker b&e toasted sandwich packed with all the good stuff.

This was followed by half a dozen Toohey Extra Dry Platinum, various spatterings of Jim Beam Black, Johnny Black, Jim Beam Single Barrel, Jack Daniels, Jamesons 12 y/o, Johnny Walker Green, Apple Tequila (direct from Tijuana), Amaretto (direct from Tijuana), Giesen Sauvignon Blanc, Woodstock Botrytis, Seppelts Gewurtstraminer, and finished off with some of my current fave red Pertaringa Understudy Cabernet Petit Verdot.

Various 8 ball games ensued.

2nd course consisted of:

2 slices of toasted bread

1.5 eggs well done

150grams of bacon

smokey bbq sauce

Followed by various Wii games.

Result = win :)

haha, brilliant way to kill a day. you certainly know how to make a good b&e. shall have to do it again.

I was going to put these on my car before the lmgt4's came up for sale.... I like the copper bronze with machined lip :)

well its a NSW cop thing not a SAPOL thing, not that it really makes a difference i guess?

i got soooo much housework to do today :)

andrew, a vid relevant to you;

reason it sounds so agricultural at idle is the 3.5" unmuffled exhaust following the y pipe...

Went on a RCK cruise last night with a mate and lets just say :)

What would you do something silly like that for? :)

Sigh... way to piss away our money on a pointless "show car" that will have no effect what-so-ever :)

Well ... its got the attention of NS.com, and now its getting our attention. I say good on them. Everyone's crying about the cops needing to be properly educated and trained ... but they can't spend a cent or they're accused of blowing tax payers money. Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Fords are cheap anyway :) Shows a bit of humour.

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
