Hey decided to change rims again ...this time they will stay on for a while.( so the wife thinks ) Also fitted the flares and dual screen dvd player (for the kids).Managed to find the only piece of green grass in Queensland to take a picture on. Might even colour code the door handles yet but leave the chrome in them ? Anyway here she is see what you think.

Personally, i don't like them as where the spokes end, makes the wheel look really small ie optical illusion.

Its weird how that works, it looks like they are only 15" rims, but i like the looks of them tho, but ur old ones were hot too.

Sorry dude, I have to agree. Also the wheel arches look a little out of place without the rest of the kit. They just stop.

I reckon your new rims suit well with the rest of the car.

Just lower it a little more at the rear, about 15-20mm

yea tbh im not a fan, they just look a bit cheap to me, kind of rims you commonly see on KE Lasers and similar cars

ok guys and girls we have to let go of the other rims.....as much as you would prefer to see them back they have gone to a better place. They had a good life whilst they where alive but the pot hole on the back road at Rocklea has decided to claim them as another casuality.:cry: However these do look alot different in person and they are easy to keep clean aswell.But I like them and I suppose I am the one driving it but each to their own.So if there is anyone out there with something nice to say please do so because I'm running out of anti-depressant pills :pray: But stuff the wheels ...colour code the handles or not ?????

Rocklea has decided to claim them as another casuality.Fair enough. Old rims = dead, so long live the new rims!

RE: colour-coding the handles, have you investigated how they fit together, ie., will it be a straightforward job? If so, may as well, if not, no big deal, it may add a little to the car, but probably won't be all that noticeable. If it's a pain to get them apart, then I'd say don't bother.
