V8E30 18 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 I like this. Custom build yourself? Nah it wasn't actually! Brought it with the 1UZ in it. I have far too many receipts for it though haha, looked below par when I got it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, that saves a lot of work and time. Receipts can be eye watering with projects such as this. It's also easy to look at it and wonder where all the money has gone, but it doesn't take long to add up when you count every small part required to make it all go properly. Are you based in Auckland? I'd be keen to check this out one day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jay^ 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2014 ill get crucified for dissing the RS's but.. i reckon they look too small. Maybe its the white centers. Preferred it on the previous (LM reps?) wheels. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

V8E30 18 Report post Posted January 23, 2014 It's been raised since the previous picture. Of course they'll look small haha, raised it like an inch and got an inch smaller wheels. Once I get Adjustables hopefully you change your mind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2052NV 43 Report post Posted January 23, 2014 needs slam! i have 15's on mine and they look fine, On old cars like these you dont want anything bigger than 16..... it just doesnt look rite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Preferred it on the previous (LM reps?) wheels. 'fraid I agree with Jay. Beautiful wheels and a beautiful car but not when joined together IMO. I'm not a huge fan of wheels that are the same colour as the car. Would look better lower but I reckon it would look better if you painted the centres silver.

V8E30 18 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 I'm getting adjusties in a month or two so that's the height issue sorted. I think silver RS's is just too common. I like the alpine white colour coded look, it's different. Cheers for the opinions though, guess it's not everyone's cup of tea 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
