I've seen you parked up at the domain a few times, very nice looking car!
How is the clearance with the wheels?
I'm considering these but mine is lowered an I want to avoid guard rolling

Aye another hobart man, awesome!

Ah look thats the standard height billies and springs and theres still a fair bit of clearance but i think cos there a bit wider you wont be able to go super low.

You running coilovers or just the lowered springs?

And where abouts are you? :)

First real DIY mod on the car, by no means professional or 100% complete but dash work is not fun.. but i was able to avoid plumbing through the wheel-well!

Nice looking wagon mate. At least I know what the Ultrex RS wheels look like on a dark car. :mrgreen: Are they the gunmetal color?

Even better. I like the sound of that. Did you have to get the hub centric ring for your car too when you bought them?

So did you buy the rims and fit them yourself or just bought the car with the rims already on it? Also the center cap, did it come with the rims?

Ok awesome. I tell you what though, if the black RS rims came in gloss, I would go for those. Other than that the gunmetal RS or the Viper's could be my next set of rims based on the pricing.
