Fitted ROH ZS's 16's with 225/50 rubber. Relatively cheap mags, but I'm happy. Much better than stock.
Still to repaint some bits here and there (front bumper, side mouldings), and fix that damn grille!

wheels look pretty good mate, where'd you get 'em from.
The grill doesnt look too bad in the photo, but i guess its its more noticable when youre standing next to it. |

the wheels look sweet well done
 and wayne IMO people are gonig to big these days...18's and up only really look good on modern cars. Just my opinion. Plus there is 8's of width... How do you find the grip in the dry?

The retreads were replaced with Toyo 255/50/R16's today, on the front only. The KMAC springs in it give a great ride, and are just below XR6 height - exactly what I want.
I'm happy with the 16's - though I would've dearly loved BA XR 18's, I couldn't justify it, what with uni this year and all. The black centres on the rims pick up the black windows and trim, so it really looks tough from side on. As an added bonus, the retreads on the rear have stuff all grip, even in the dry.... BIG thanks to Polyal, oneredED, MADNC_8, InitialD and monty_v8 for the help.

RETREAD? haha no thanks!
I'm sending the rims to a reconditioner's place who will polish the outers properly, they look a bit crappy at the sec. Hopefully it'll be done by AFD. Thanks boys!

Not bad! I thought you had superlows?
Also, EL Fairmonts are the best looking E-series
