Lachlan · 18-07-2011, 11:24 AM

Frickin sexy as dude! If I had my time again I'd get wheels that colour.

Ben · 18-07-2011, 02:54 PM

Thanks guys, They look amazing on the car! I'll take a picture and upload it later! Sets it off nicely!

Orion · 18-07-2011, 03:26 PM

So, can you let us know any more about the rims?

Or is it all secret squirrel at this stage?

Ben · 18-07-2011, 05:43 PM

Well here they are... They were secret until now orion :P

They are advanti Talon's Gun-metal grey. Running at 205/45/R17... So 17 inch... Want to know anything else?

They look black from a distance, which is cool, but i'm not much a fan with the full on Black on black.. Soo hence why i chose these!

Sorry for dodge pictures.. Will give it a proper shoot on the weekend!

$1500 including tyres/wheel balance/ wheel alignment. Tyres are just some cheapies (By cheap, still $135 each..) ATR Sport.. They have decent tred and aren't loud or anything.

The exhaust, i dont really know. It came with the car. I did post a video on youtube about it.. I'm pretty sure its a catback exhaust with a 4inch tip.

Why thankyou! I must say they weren't easy to pick out! Went to about 10 different shops then searched online for many hours...

Thanks man! Appreciate it!

morganluke · 19-07-2011, 10:39 AM

Needs wider tyres. 205's are thin as!

Tyres are definitely something no one should skimp on. $135 is cheap as...

Wheels look awesome though dude. Nice work

Well they weren't the cheapest! I couldn't afford anything more really than these.. I was only planning to spend $1200 for both wheel and tyres, So i went over budget, the tyres had to sacrifice... Next set of tyres i will get something decent. Thanks for the comments!

scott b · 19-07-2011, 12:24 PM

i wouldnt say thats too cheap, i was getting Kuhmo KU31* in the same size for $120 fitted and a fair few people rave about those tyres, i know i loved them
