Hey Jaime, Quote:I've heard (from Dattodude) that the blokes downunda drink Heineken or Becks, not Fosters.

15x8 rims with very low profile Dunlop Wets

Shame I dont have a set of 20 inch chrome wannabes lying around

Quote:

Depends what you call downunda. Fosters is Australian so they possibly would.

Beer in NZ for me would be Speights. For others DB, Steinlarger plus lots others

it all depends on the person but fosters to my knowledge isn't huge over here it is in japan and other overseas parts.

all sorts of beer is big over here more and more people are trying and liking overseas beer soit's pretty broad.

but hey give me a beck's or hieniken anyday

*edit*: Hankooks were $360, not $60!!!still cheap though!

Well, I have to say, I see Fosters in the Bottleshop, but really,it is piss and I wouldn't drink it in a fit.
The best Aussie beer, IMO, is called Crown Lager. If I'm not drinking crownies, I'm drinking Victoria Bitter (made in melbourne),Boag's Draught (Made in Tasmania), or either Asahi super dry or Kirin first press. The last two are Japanese :D
As for wheels and tyre, I'd go for 14" wheels nowadays. That said, Hankook did make a good 185/60/13, I had them on my escort Van, and they were cheap, maybe $360 AUD for 4. They were a really good tyre, a bit shorter in the sidewall than most 60's but very grippy. I last had a set of those about 18 months ago. Worth a shot.
I would say you could also easily get 13" Yokohama Advans, or pommy performance tyres like Avon, as in Japan and england both those sizes would be getting plenty of use still.

Bunny!

So the american ads have mislead me? It says "Fosters -- Australian for beer". And now I find out it's not even a favorite among australian beer drinkers. The guys I knew that drank it was because "it comes in a big can".

Pssst..........Sierra Nevada pale ale! Brewed right up the road. Also Hangtown Strong Blonde(local) Take two of those & you won't be calling ANYONE in the morning! ........ Any leads on 12" rims/tires.(to keep it low)

Sorry my southern hemisphere mates, according to publicity(obviously wrong) , and as Dgonz's says, here the adds say, "Fosters, Australian for beer", well, at least I know it is a Australian brand, but , ussually ads , specially foreign stuff is misleading and geared for revenue, not truthfullness. Like here in US, a Mexican food known as Burrito is a known all over as mexican food, but I asked real mexican people(from mexico, not mexican americans) about this Burrita food, and they all say it is a US made up, there is no real mexican food called Burrito.

Jaime.

In Australia they have a brand of beer called XXXX ( four x)
They had to do this because no-one over there could spell 'beer'

yeh an 4x don't know how to make beer either
which is true.as for rims if i was going for 12" rims i would go for some fat mini lites but thats about it smallest id go would be the 13's they are a great size
