Default JJJ got his wheels fitted, pics...

Got my new rims and tyres fitted on saturday at tyrepower. They did an excellant job and gave me $190 for my old el fairmont rims. All up it costed me $1003.

4*225/50/16 Sava directional Tyres
4*Holotype-R speedy rims
1*set of lock nuts
16*chrome nuts

fitted and balanced (plus they gave me a 4in skt extension so my original tyre spanner will work)


So yeah i reckon I got a top deal, couldn't beleive i got so much trade-in on the fairmont rims as only 2 tyres were roadworthy.

Cheers Luke.

you could have got some nice 17's for that price. They look very plain jane IMO, but if you're happy with them then thats all that matters.

Would look much better if it was lowered.

Looks pretty nice. Some lowering would set it off nicely. If I were you I would also get some NL Fairlane side repeater indicators
