Went and got myself some new black 20 inch wheels. i am aware of the fact that not everyone likes the black on black theme, but i personally think the car turned out well. Lowered car 3 1/4 at the front and 2 1/4 at the back...

Pics taken tonight so a bit dark, will get better ones later.

Cheers,
Russell

i kinda like it man... but i think you should spray paint the calipers and rotors black... everything that could posibly rust there.... it will look a lot better.... also make sure your tires are always shiny

Looks good mate..

So do you reckon you could of fitted the 245`s now..???

01-06-2006, 05:22 PM
So I take it this means you wont be getting a sprintex kit anytime soon???

Looks good, but like the others have said - really shows up the rusty brakes lol , so paint them (personally I'd go a metallic silver to break up the black), and it'll all be sweeeeetttt!!!!

:cool:

Dee
01-06-2006, 05:23 PM
^ i agree with silver.

Else, for something extra cool... paint them black, but paint two silver/chrome racing stripes along your calipers... .. :shifty:.. wait.... that looked ok in my head for a few moments.

suggestion, pul lthe rims off and clean up inside ur wheel arches, then go buy some matte black paint and spray inside with matte black


or u can get a couple of cans of Australian Export Tyre Shine and go crazy in the wheel wells, just wont last as long

im gonna go against the grain here ..

i love the rims ... but ... i think 18's suit magnas best ... 19's tops ... it just doesnt look wight when the car looks like its on its guts but then u look hoe high it is off the ground cos the rims raise the car so much

You dont understand how awesome this will look till you see it rolling from an observers point of view.. theres a black statesman getting around town slammed with black 20s, including the chrome rim. The chrome ring disappears inside the back guards.. :drool:

Oh so tidy - well done :cool:

Be careful if your cruisin round penrith as the cops will pick on your rims like i found out on tuesday. They'll make u pay $400 to keep them legal! hehe :bowrofl:

Black, Black & more Black :bowdown:
Looks very smart.

I agree with the others, paint the brakes etc. Black too.
Have you considered de-chroming the rest of the car too? (if not already done) - ie. around the windows, door handle, etc. Anything Chrome - made Black.

[THUGDOUT]
01-06-2006, 07:11 PM
nooooo, dont listen to GRDPuck, keep the chrome highlights otherwise a full black body will have no form just look like one big black mass with some chrome rings holding it up! plus chrome is shiny n shiny stuff rocks

and ego, i notice these things day in day out, i hate having dirty wheel wells.... i think i have a problem

I think black and chrome look sweet 2getha. Take for instance EGO's machine with his chrome rims and his chrome verada grille! I think chrome and black go nicely 2getha but each to their own i suppose!

:shock: :drool: That looks very, very nice man. Like everyone's said though the calipers need to be black and in my opinion the handbrake drum part of the brake asembly would look nice shiney chrome. Also it's hard to tell in those photos if the door handles are chrome, but I reakon chrome door handles would look hot. :D

Honestly i dont think i could of fit the 245s but who knows, gunna lower the pressure in the tyres today. supposebly running at 42psi, will bring em back to 40. bit too bumpy last night, nothing crazy (to be expected)

Here's your day time shot, will be good to give the car another wash soon...
Maybe get her out on a cruise down the south coast for some pics.

Appreciate everyone's comments, and yes i will have to fix up the caliper paint. I was thinking of going gold (gunna steal another one of dee's ideas :bowrofl: )
But since i have the black theme i may make the brakes stand out or i may not. Am now thinking of getting the rear 284mm slotted rotor to go with the front.

The tyres are 225/35/20, thought they'd be too thin, but these wanglin (crap tyres) seem to stretch out to more of a 235.
Did the tyre size calculator on the net. going from a 215/60/16 to a 225/35/20 my rolling diameter is out by 0.2%! So at 100km/h im doing 100.2km/h CHEERING
with the 17s i was doing more like 98km/h instead of 100.
Car doesnt scrape going up or down driveway or on speed humps :D

Didnt end up rolling either guard, if i had of gone lower at the rear i would of had to. but i still wanted some drivablity...

Mine doesnt really scrub when turning left but when turning right the tyre is catching the inside plastic engine bay guard. sounds like ****! haha, only under a decent lock though.
Besides that theres no rubbing on the arches and i dont have flares....

if u can get a hold of them glue drying heat gun will be good or jus use a ver powerful hair drier and once the plastic goes soft push it back. or u can jus see when the tyre is scrubbing and jus cut that piece off or let the tyre wear it in.

the constant rubbing against the rear control arms while driving.

When I took the rims off, there was a **** load of scrape marks on the inside of the tyre. and the control arm had rubber scuff marks all over it.

Yeah the whole no tyre profile is expensive when you need new tyres and painful when hitting big bumps... The price you pay i guess :cool:

18s still look good providing the car is lowered well.

bwahahaha :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

first of all..... Nankangs!! - the pinnacle of performance....:doubt:

secondly..... the cheapest set of 19's (decent brand of tyre of course) are about 325 p/tyre

so maybe u might (and thats a big might) be able to get 20" nankangs for that price, but for any decent tyre ur probably lookin at adding another $100 to the $325 for 19".


oh and just so i can put my 2c into this slanging match:

i'd put 245's on my rims if they could fit them..... my old 19's had 235's that just fit over and i didnt like the look. plus, if your tyres fit your rims properly without it being stretched too much, the rubber will give you some scrape protection when you kiss gutters.

I tried to fit 245's on both sets of 19s ive had so far... I lived with the rubbing on my TJ Sports but it was annoying... When it came to get rims for the ralliart we tried 245s again but same problem so i had them swapped for 235's and no rubbing what so ever...

Both cars had different brand rims and tyres so i dunno what the go was but 245s didnt work for me....

']nooooo, dont listen to GRDPuck, keep the chrome highlights otherwise a full black body will have no form just look like one big black mass with some chrome rings holding it up! plus chrome is shiny n shiny stuff rocks...
