Posts: 206Settled on a set of wheels and happy i did.
Weld Alumastars 15×3.5-2.25″ and 15×8-4″ with black centers. Not going to run center caps as it’ll have wilwood front brakes and probably strange axles.
bit annoyed i had to split the back wheels and take the centers out as they gave me ford pattern instead of commodore. oh well! is what it is.
Hopefully should get the ball rolling in the next 2-3 weeks!!
June 13, 2016 at 8:11 pm #17770Beautiful wheel choice. Always liked them.

Posts: 206Cheers fellas.
Had to do something a bit different, and something that suited my taste. Unfortunately, momo stars or simmons are out of the question down here in vic. They are on what feels like every 2nd commodore!
June 17, 2016 at 7:14 am #17817God damn. I want alumstars

Posts: 206Bought some more goodies at the resto country spares grand opening last week, new headlights, new front bar, new bonnet grill inserts and a new overflow bottle.
Plus through the week bought 3 way adjustable shocks, pedders 90/10’s [still waiting for them] , 255 m/t radials [still waiting as well] and got my replacement centers back in the correct stud pattern torqued to speck and back on the rim
To top it off itll be started on this coming weekend!
June 26, 2016 at 9:55 pm #17970Them Competition Engineering drag shocks are good. Esp for their price.
Mate has a set. Very happy

Posts: 206July 11, 2016 at 12:02 am #18338Thinking not only roll wheel lip but that hump just above inside arch could do with some dolly work also to help not only lower but also get slightly tucked tyre look…otherwise car will sit higher than you like it.
Got a tubbed sle that sits tad too low(305/50/15),wheel lip not rolled full arch…sidewall caught & ripped it…not happy jan!
