Default New wheels

Like the title says. I just had my car fitted with a set of wheels at Jax.

They look great, a really simple but effective choice that stand out well. Lowering it a bit will really set them off.

Thanks. I don't know yet about lowering. I'm going to get a TS50 kit next and I want to see how well I can get it up the driveway as is, before I go and lower it.

Yeah ts50 kit lowers the front/rear a bit but your wheels will still look way to high in the wheel arches. What size are they? A set of superlows with the t3 kit will set it off

18". Like I said, I'll see how it gets up the driveway with the kit before I think about lowering. If it gets up easy, I don't see why not.

Are they RJR's? Look nice, but getting very common.

Wheels look great!, really suit the car

As said before lowering it a little would really set it off!

they can look alright in some cases, on your car they seem to look good. but for my choices they are to close to the series 2 monaro wheels. oh and also the fact that 4 cars in my street have them.

I rekon theres nothing worse then buying a set of wheels and then seeing them on every other car. I've never seen my old wheels on another car but theres quit a few cars getting around with my new ones on them.

They are King Wheels BRT. I can't really remember the price for the rims themselves. I was more interested in the gross cost for everything.

I was going to get ROH flashes in black machine face, when they came out. But after the consent delays, apparent machining problems ROH had making them. Plus the fact some places refuse to stock ROH, I decided that they couldn't be trusted. Those wheels really would have been unique. So yes as its been said these wheels do like nice but are a tad common :P
