Hey guys
Here is some photos of the 18's i just had fitted to the car today! The shadow Chrome suits the Gunmetal Very Nicely I think. Next on the list is a set of lowered spring to bring it down a little and it should be a nice comfortable cruisey ride. Let me knows what ya think! |

Once it's lowered, that'll look great. It's nearly as high as my car!

well i can't have everything at once! but the tyres that were on the stock fairmont rims where not all that flash and like to send me sliding around in the rain! being canberra as well with the old black ice, crappy tyres not such a good idea!
so new tyres was a must! will be getting lowered in the very near future tho

Nice wheels, but I'm a big believer in lowering cars before putting nice rims on.

the guy here in canberra that i got the Rims thru said he can do it for around $450. Depends how low and what not.
Don't wanna go to low anyways, canberra is notorious for crappy drive ways and bad roads! so i dont wanna scrub out and have to get them fixed all the time.... |

Nice choice of wheels. they look great. Personally id go ultralows, if you dont get it lowered enough ull get sick of how it looks and will want to go lower after. May aswell go a nice ultralow ride height first off. Will look nuts.
