Hi guys, just a little update.
So a few days ago my uncle Oli and i went down to menai to check out a set of bbs rs reps 16X9 et20.





At the back of the car, they sat pretty nicely, maybe just a touch too wide, but at the front, they didn't clear the front callipers... they would have needed 15mm spacers just to fit... Now I'm a bit puzzled as to whether those wheels were actually et20. My front brakes are bigger than the stock vr6 ones because on the way home, we spotted a blue one, and pulled over next to it to compare the sizes.
The wheels that i have on at the moment are 17x7 et35, and they fit nicely. So now i was wondering what would be a good spec wheel to go for. What do you guys think?

Until next time,
Luka

Offset has nothing to do with brake clearance. Brake clearance comes down to wheel design... I'm glad the fakes didn't fit

Good spec depends on what you want, remember my offer to you

if you have bigger brakes you'll probably have to go 16s

Hey Dubba, yeah thats the car. I've contacted the previous owner, and i got some really good info on the car and i also got the log books and the spare key.

Wow how's it drive ?
I know the guy who built it, his nephew crashed it (dubba knows him).

[Mk3_Vr6]

It drives well, it drives well and true. It was only the strut bracket that was broken.

So its been a while, and no license and the HSC going on means that not much has happened

Hopefully soon the CXRacing coilovers will be ordered and i can finally fit the new set of wheels that i've acquired.
They are the Azev K's from KI11Z up in QLD. I fell in love with them, and just need the lows so it looks semi-decent. I'll also need tw 7mm spacers for the fronts as they are hitting the calipers
Here are some crappy iphone test pics of the wheels on the car









Hopefully next update the wheels will be fitted, with the coils on

Until then, adios amigos

Very cool!

[frankeshh]

Wow this is clean! So jealous man

[Mk3_Vr6]

Thanks for the compliments guys! Will get it polished soon just so the paint pops, and looks mint! Not sure weather or not to go for it myself, or get someone else to do it :/

Can't wait to see it on its guts too Byron!
Cheers Water Boy and Frankeshh!
