I think I'm on the same page as you; I like the tough 5 spokes, but I'm also quite a fan of nice wire mesh wheels.

Thanks, yeah I'd been wanting to change the bonnet pretty much since I bought the car, but with all the health problems wasn't able to do anything until recently. It's a cooler white colour so it doesn't quite match the slightly creamier paint, but I'm getting a few gouges and scratches on the front quarters and bumpers fixed up and resprayed soon anyway, including the black strips, so will just get the bonnet done at the same time, better than doing the black one. Have a contact through car magazine work to do it for a good price as he liked the photos I took of his car.

yeh both sets of wheels look good hard to choose what to run

your car looks so much cleaner all white

The old wheels make the car imo , if it were me i'd be keeping them on it :worship:

looks heaps nicer all white! , kris's mesh wheels would set it off :P

Thanks. :) I was used to it being black after so long, but after making the white bonnet change on Monday, it looks so much better.

Will look cleaner next week, taking it in for touch-up and respray next Monday. Taking photos of the crash repair shop owner's very cool RB30 powered FB Holden wagon as partial payment, so getting it all done for a very good price.

Still trying to catch up in my build thread, but the front bar fins were trimmed to fit a FMIC a few weeks ago. Cooler and piping are sprayed matt black for subtlety. Have S2 chrome grille to fit as well.

Liking the VS-XX & Stitches on the 31s, after looking around a bit they aren't cheap though! Not sure of the offset on my P1s...

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
