ill get a full car shot again soon cause i had to take one off cause the wheel was buckled... gettin another soon, then doin the front springs so it should be slammed all around.

my only gripe is the 16's actually raised the car as they are taller than the 17's so im gonna find some 225/50's and it should be sweet!!! cause at the back of the sideskirt it sits like 11cm off the ground. with the 16's its like 14 =

This is pretty much what I had in mind for the blue car. Had some photo chops done, and it suits the AU awesome. Especially those clip in chrome lips, pure sex.

Yeah I've alwYs wanted whitewalls but could never afford 19'z to put them on. Now that I'm ditching the Ricky rims I grabbed some stockies. Thinking about painting the stockies black but we'll see on Monday when I put em back on hopefully. Chrome trim ring and new wheel nuts looks effing PIMP haha it's strange seeing like a old school wheel effect on a new car lol

I tried painting a stockie rim Gloss black, and masked off the lip into the inner part of the wheel, and sprayed it silver. It looks really good, and gives the effect that the rim has about an inch or two of dish.

I reckon FG steelies (think: looks just like AU/BA steelies but with fewer, larger holes like E-series steelies) would look good, as chrome as you can get em, chrome wheel trims, chromed cop centre caps, and either gloss black or chrome wheel nuts, short closed-end style. And whitewalls of course, but be very careful not to go over the top. With delicate against-the-grain things like this, more/bigger isn't always better, in fact it's often worse. You've got to have moderation about it, you don't want it to appear garish.

Standard 16s (205/65/16 or 215/60/16) and 17s (235/45/17 or 225/50/17) are the same overall height within a few mm, so it is impossible for them to raise your car by 3cm.
