Ditched the old territory rims yesterday and picked up a set of 17" Kspeed Odins with tyres that have done about 1000ks from a guy at work for $550, very happy with them, changes the look of the car entirely.
Heres some pics.

+ 1 for lowering, looks good better than those ford rims.

rims look very nice mate, good buy with the tyres:) as gas hed said i'm guessing that new springs are in the works or looking at keeping it stock height with all the gravel around you?

looks mint mate, in my opinion drop it a little you will notice the difference so much better to drive and safer to, not so floaty.

Repco are way to over priced for springs.

Go to any tyre place and they will be able to get springs for you and cheaper than repco

Lows will not do it justice...
Supers up front and compressed rears for awesome looks, lows will only sit about 30mm lower?

Ditch the pinstripes too!!
But mannnn great pickup on the rims...

looks real good dude! nice pickup.

+1 for lowering, but steer clear of repco. if i had $1 for every customer who told me repco were overpriced, i wouldnt be working at supercheap lol

Hahaha yeh, I just got my car back on Wednesday after getting new suspension and lowering, wow looks so much better, its the first thing I think when i see another 2nd gen that hasnt been lowered now. It seems that when you get bigger wheels it makes the car look higher or the wheel arch gap more obvious.

Yep, repco now suck, they quoted me $188 a pair for the springs, i just said no and walked out the door, ill shop around this week and when ive got some time to get the car in ill get some on it.
yeah ive been meaning to get rid of the pinstripes but no one has a dam hairdryer i can borrow.

This car of yours just keeps lookin' better and better. As above, lowering, tint and pinstripe (if you can't wait any longer for a hairdryer just wait until the sun has been on the body for a while).

And I know I've said it before but tinting your indicators will really set off the rest of the car.

Looking very nice, :cool:.

$188 for a pair of springs!!!!

Man if worst comes to worst, I may be up Forster way in the next few weeks, I could buy them from a mate down here and you can collect/pay for them when Im up that way......

Very nice,,,, very nice......

Did you notice a difference in weight from the territory rims? Were they steel or alloy?

Very Nice dude...

I especially like the fact that they're not overly common rims!

Good Choice. :)

the territory rims are steel,and are very heavy, im not sure what these wheels are but they are alot lighter.
Thanks for the offer Gas_Hed, but ill just source some from around here.

I hear removing all suspension entirely looks almost low enough.
