yeah there superlows i was surprised too i thought it would sit heaps higher must be the subby box plus half-3qtr tank of fuel but its still low. I was a bit wary of the 6 spoke wheels but i had to make the leap and hope for the best and im wrapped now. If they had em in 20's i would of bought em but they dont makem in 20. The exhaust looks crap i waant the Momo TWIN TIP now. Its sitting low at the front cos of the camber which is getting alligned on monday cos they didnt have time plus they wanna take photos of it. Im after some struts now to lower the front 10mm and thats it for the car. It rides really good to better than wen i had 17's alot smoother.. Thanks for your opinions too

yeop, nice clean looking AU there mate.
The wheels look good, havent seen too many cars with them which is a bonus i guess.
Also i think the spoilerless look with the ghia chrome on the boot looks fantastic, good taste indeed!

Looks great. Not a huge fan of the 6 spoke designs when you see them in a catalogue, but they really good on the car.

Who makes "Top Line" tyres? Never heard of them.

The rims are Hot indeed, and love the kit.. Im a huge fan of having a rear wing/boot lid spoiler but personally i think that honestly looks awesome. The Rims really set it off hey!!!

That is hot mate. Good choice! Although a bi-plane (even the more squared off type) might look the part too.

the tyres are silicon compund Falkens, thats what they offered me as a good tyre, so i bought em. Better than Wanli and Nankangs Wangs that ride sh it house. The car hasnt really changed in ride quality at all if anything i like it better now alot firmer which i like.

Lol, I thought Top Line was a bridgestone or something!! But I see you mean a well regarded tyre. What model Falkens? Not the 326/329!? They are better than Wan Li, but worse than nankang NS2s (which aren't a bad tyre, actually). If they're the 452s or ST115, then you're talking Top Line tyres, otherwise, take them back and swap them for ice skates - they will do a better job in most conditions.
