I'm looking to get some 17" ROH Adrenalins (i know these are popular but they do look good :) ) for the TS and get new springs at the same time.

I'm in Melbourne so how much should I expect to pay for the Wheel/Tyre/Lowering package including fitting? For tyres I just want something basic and springs probably King Lows.

Can anyone suggest a good place in melb to go for this? Donnellans Oakleigh are nearby, and I noticed that Factory Direct have the wheel on special.

thanks.

Sorry - I think they look shocking

i much prefer something with bigger spokes - in my opinion the adrenalin ones make your car look flimsy :)

sorry if i've offended your car - just what it seems to say from the image to me.

Dont worry no offence taken! I haven't saved up the $$$ yet so it's not too late for you to change my mind :?

I'd normally agree with you but I think the 2nd gen Magna's are a pretty elegant design deserving a more subtle wheel like the ROH's. They suit the shape of the car perfectly I reckon.

But while we're on the topic, does anyone else wanna lend their opinion on the wheels?

Have a look at PODRCR's car on www.madmagna.com gallery, his are not what you want but very similar. I think they look great on our model

thanks Mal I think it may have been the pics of PODRCR's car that encouraged me to look at that type of wheel actually.

with the black paint and wheels that magna looks very nice.

I have ROH Adrenalins with Falkens (couldn't afford more expensive tyres....) 235/45/17. Don't get Shadow Chrome - looks like they are dirty with brake dust...
Whole package was ~ 1500 bux
They look pretty aggro - that's why I got them. 8)
Suspension stuff can be expensive if you do it properly. Change the whole strut with shocks as well. I had mine done in Pedders Sports Ryder, 50 mm, with shocks too, cost ~ 1100. Didn't have time to do it my self, but parts only would have been 800+ bux, so I considered it ok at that stage to have it done. Besides, comes with warranty....
If you want a pic of the wheels/car to consider, send me PM.
BTW - Sydney prices of course.
