Nice. Can you do some side profile shots. Want to see how it looks side on. But she looks great. Love the black stockies too. My Blueprint Futura had black stockies on it. Wasn't lowered, but I think it looked pretty cool.

how is it going around bumpy corners, do your tyres rub on the outside of your wheel arch?

Also, did you have to get shocks aswell when you lower your car?

Speaking of Territory wheels, does anyone know of anyone putting Territory Ghia wheels on their AU? I was pulled up next to one the other day, I reckon they'd look pretty good (with some low profiles on them obviously!)

I was tempted ... as I got a set of immaculate ones with brand new 235/60R17 Goodyear Inegrity rubber for $650 ... so I put them on the Territory instead .... now I have another set of Territory steelies sitting in the shed (with a original Goodyear Forterra rubber on it ... 45,000km from factory soft AWD rubber isn't too bad I thought).

I was tempted to put 45 series rubber on it.

I actually like the 5-spoke TS wheels ... and think they'd look BIG with low profile rubber on them.

Just tossing ideas up at the moment ... as I am getting bored for Terri steelies now that I have had them on for 18 months.
