What exactly are you trying to start?

SRB210 is right. - Even if you win YOU are still a retard.

I've noticed you've been a member of this forum for a couple of years. and that's great. - Really it is. - Your comments clearly speak for your experience.

I'm pretty sure I said most of this before, But for those amongst us "who can't read that good" - I'll sat it again. - I've had 4 1200 utes (6 if you count rollers), 2 of which had 17's. - the 2nd ute I owned "N01200" (Search that, pics on here) was built at the end of 2001 & was the test bed for Maddat's 1200 / CA conversion kit, Mazda 4 spot / coil over kit. - It had 17" Lenzo's before I sold it. - THEY WERE CRAP. - My 3rd ute had a set of CUSTOM MADE, $2500 FR17'S in 17 x 7 & 17 x 8.5 with mini tubs. - THEY TOO, WERE CRAP.

I've owned ALOT of cars in my time & spent alot of money, made good friends & learned alot of lessons. - What did I learn? - "Less, is more". - This goes for every thing. - Wheels, wild engine conversions, body mods, the lot. - Keep the car "period". - Don't make it look like something it's not.

As for your "Jap rims" statement. I'm pretty sure a previous post of mine said "Old school jap rims is where it's at". - Hm, Don't think I could find a pic of a JDM Sunny truck with 17's on it (Not that I bothered to look, to gay for me) - I think you'll find that fat dish 13 - 15's is the norm.

While we are on the subject of Jap rims, I just so happned to have purchased a few in my time.

Take, for example the 18 x 10.5 insh SSR's on our workshop '97 V-spec GT-R. (Sorry, my 06 Softail kinda in the way there)

Where do you think they come from?

What do you think they cost?


I'm done with this thread.

the choice is
A) do you want the car to work properly or
B) are you willing to sacrifice ride, handling, roadholding for a look

15's max imo (but i wouldn't go 15's on an a series car, they dont need it)

how good is this
(and yes i'm a drag racer)
i had already decided on these before i saw this. it just confirmed my choice
welds are really light too (less sprung weight)

the other reason bob jane bling rims are good for 12 months is they change whats a fashion every year, imho they are meant for commodore P platers where the car cant handle any worse with the cheapest rim and tyre available. Putting that crap on a skyline is wrong.
