I actually don't like the contrast between the silver/white line around the edge of the tail light and the black. If that line didn't exist, I would prefer it. Might just look average in my eyes in the photo though

the line breaks it up i was afraid that if i got rid of it they would look too dark...
photo's don't really do them justice but they look heaps better than before...

i love the ride height. remember the lower go the worse it will handle. but hey, you've got a 9" so i guess you're not too fussed about handling

it smokes up the 17's just fine ;) haha nah the 13 are to tight of a fit im worried they might foul on something...

brakes are VN commodore items with slotted rotors hopefully to match the hoppers stoppers kit for the front i'll buy later down the track

:iagree:

I reckon white walls look odd on large wheels/low profile rubber

the car is looking good though I must say, has to be the neatest uc arse I have seen so far

Well they don't look like whitewalls to me... they just look like a weird trim. Whitewalls seem to make wheels look larger than they are, and Ben's are definately big enough for me as is :P
