Hmm sounds tempting but i think i might have to pass hehe..

These aren't real Bboss Eleanors cause they wanted an extra $1200 for that.. so i got one that looked similar but shh... noone will know the difference

That looks mint mate well done. Nice car, love those rims (even if they are replicas!) and awesome ride height. Only suggestion for exterior would be clear side indicators now - $20 that would be well spent :)

Looking very nice. I'd be interested to know the above as well.

The tires that i'm running are 235 / 35 / 20
They are a bit thinner than other 20" tires due to clearance issues at the rear

The height in the picture is with super lows at the front with 1 coil cut and the rears are lows with 2 coils cut. I've also had to file away some of the bumper because of scrapage when the car drives over bumps.. there was literally 2 mm clearance. I've also had the rear guards rolled.

Theres not that much rubbing unless theres people in the back and unfortunately i'm going to have to raise it slightly just to be safe lol.

The people at Global Tires did this one for me. And the are the rims are G2-178.

Oh and i have clear indicators now :D

Very nice especially the rear, only thing is I think the offset of the front rims is not right, it'd be nicer if the rims sat more on the inside of the guards. Besides that, it looks great. :cool:

looks porn! the car is really sitting well on those wheels and the colour combo of the rim and car paint suit

top job!

As I said before, looks hot. The height of the car really makes it look mint.

Just a side note, not sure if you care, or are even aware, but those tyres make the car technically illegal as the load rating is to low. But anyway, who cares. Looks are much more important :D

as if, territory rims FTW haha, **** they look good, i want a set:(

Yeah i know that the tires may not be the most legal but in all seriousness.. in my area only people with turbo cars and commodores get pulled over. And yes the offset at the front doesn't seem right as the wheels are like 5mm further out than i would like them to be :(

The wheels cost me $1800 with tyres compared to original BBoss Eleanors of the same size costing me $2950. Wasn't going to spend the extra money just cause of the brand.. sorry Magna00 :cry:

Mmm, not to my taste. I've always thought wheels that size on cars obviously not designed for them tends to end up looking like a tractor.

koston54
19-02-2008, 09:48 AM
In some cases big wheels can make it look like a tractor, however the magna's have very large wheel arch's and at times it makes 18's look more like 16's.

The reason i went with 20's is cause i originally had 19's and i thought they looked way too small :(

Look nice. any bump steer or tramlininG? How's the ride?

koston54
22-02-2008, 05:18 AM
Surprisingly the ride is very nice. Not as harsh as i was expecting. Over the bumps its pretty smooth but there still is typical Magna problems with low speed turning circles :( We're never going to fix that

:shock: nice ride?
whats shocks you using? i want some. my car feels like its propelled by jackhammers.

cars looking good but! and no no and no, you cant go any higher!? once you go low, you cant go back! i had to put my bumps back in for a while to jack it back up so icould drive, made me cry.

Love your choice of rim! I have the same rims (genuine bboss's tho) on a ke ei verada. I bought superlows but when we went to swap them over my struts were absolutely rooted and im waiting to source new ones before i can drop it down. Yours looks sweet tho!
