Default Goodbye To Stockies

Well after many weeks of impatience and overtime I finally put the rims on the car and sat it on king lows.The rims are ROH 17" RT's,tyres are 235/45 's.
The car is a daily so I only put lows on it as superlows would have caused me some grief getting into my driveway etc.Even so,bodyroll has been eliminated and it hugs the road alot better.My car is a bit rough around the edges and the new look may not be everyones cup of tea but it is my car....my pride and joy.... and Im stoked to the eyeballs.

I had those rims on my old EL bout 2.5 years ago, started an annoying trend in my area as everyone started putting them on their e-series, spose thats cos they do look good, the fact their only 17"s started annoying me tho. Uve got like a replica of my old EL (rims and lows). Reminds of how good it looked!

Looks good. Heaps better than stockies! It's insane trying to find the normal threads amongst the crap in the e-series section at the moment!
