Less$$ on wheels. More on engine.

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Around $1000 less than retail.

Dont worry about the engine cava it’s going to TK in December.

Nah probably not to be honest. Stupid I know to change my mind but I’m set on a nice clean bay now. Yes the FRs are nice but when there is 3 green sv5000s running around the area all with the same wheels it’s a bit of a joke. I go to a show a people say oh I’ve seen that here and there and I say know you haven’t and then I have to explain. It’s fucked

FR’s are done to death, but I guess that’s because they look great, bit of a catch 22…

Btw what would have been standard?  For the money you are spending you could have had custom wider rims designed and made for the rear that match the OE SV5000 wheels

Yeah that’s fer enough then with the wheels, I just completely winged it and put a bid on a set I found on eBay from a Gold Coast tyre shop and suprisling I was the only 1 to bit and got them at the opening price

 

they where ordered from China and not sure if it’s true or not but apparently only a hand full made,  apparently he ordered 9 sets to fit Commodores, dont know what brand they are or nothing as nothing is printed on them beside 20-8.5 on the back and a tiny sticker that said made in China, boxes where white with a symbol Iv never seen before and a small sticker with rim size, width, off set PCD and that was it

 

They are nothing special but they do the job for me

iv had people ask me what they are and I don’t know lol, I know my car to great lengths and know every aspect of it but don’t know anything about the rims on it lol

 

nice clean bay will suit this nicely and TK is a good choice to build it

Sounds good, gold centers? What size rears?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Was going gold but my Mrs reckons go something different. I really would like to see some in a deep copper colour but the only other option in my mind is charcoal centres.

9″ rears

Gold centers would look mint again! 

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

I saw a picture of the them in gold on an e63 and they looked yuck so I didn’t order them in the end. Still searching. Want new wheels don’t know what to get.

[SLE355Participant View build HERE Member since: April 7, 2015 Posts: 119]

Why not stick with the FR’s but go a custom colour centre? Bigger dish on the rear.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Cause everyone has fr’s.

[SLE355Participant View build HERE Member since: April 7, 2015 Posts: 119]

Cause they look damn good.

I said it before, if you want something no one else has, custom…

They lost their appeal.

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Still look great but every man and his dog has them now.

Any updates on wheels or engine?
