  • Cheers guys

    Alex, I would love to get some more strech on those wheels, but seeing as they are only 7s its kinda hard without going to stupid tyres sizes like 185 or less. I put some 205s on one of the wheels and it sat pretty much flat, the 195s strech the tiniest bit.

    Cant remember where the lights came from, just some random store on eBay sold stuff on ebay.com.au rather than ebay.com. Set me back like $60 in the end. Just be careful with the fog lights as they are glass not plastic and tend to break when dropped (bit of araldite and shes all good!)

      • Spent the last 2 hours trying to fit the rears, and have come across a slight problem. It appears some of the wheels have a slightly different centre bore size (ie too small) meaning I cant fit the wheels on the hub I had the same problem when fitting one of the fronts, but a quick file of the inside edge of the hub and it fitted on fine. I have spent a while with a rock file on the end of a drill, boring out the centre to try and make it fit and still no success. I think its slowly getting there, about 1mm off now I reckon. Same problem with the other rear wheel. Might have to take it to Extensive Wheels again and see if they can bore the centres out properly to the proper size.
        I have tomorrow off so hopefully I can get the wheels on and some photos up asap

          • Hahaha persistence is the key. But too much persistence means bad looking wheels. So, persistence plus that all-annoying patience is the REAL key

              • Some of them are perfect, some are not, pretty wierd. Why would they make different sized centre bored wheels?

                    • Rims look great mate! Shame to hear about the hold up, hope you sort it quickly.

                      Have all 4 lips been polished? Did you do it your self.

                      Looked at some rims the other day in a similar style think they were zauber, wasnt sure about the style now im thinking twice.

                      Look forward to seeing your car in the near future.

                      • Thanks mate! Lips were polished when I bought them, but ive cleaned them up a bit myself. Still not 100% happy with them though

                        Yeah look forward to seeing you car soon aswell, get your ass to the next cruise mate!
