hey guys got my wheels today ordered them today so was expecting them tomorrow but they arrived today
theyre DTM Hiro 18''x8.5'' with 235/40/18 tyres. they dont look to bad in the black instead of the hyper black but ill probably still get them painted later on. theyre prety tight on the front only just clear the struts but heaps of guard clearance. as for the rear they fit quite nicely heaps of clearance . the rear should look good once its lowered as the diff is 10mm shorter either side so they should tuck up in the guard quite nicey.very happy with them sorry about the crap photos cant get the car outside because of the rain and yeah youll just have to ignore the brakes i havent had time to paint them just yet

lol! youve got me worried now aaron.
took car for a test drive yesterday and the wheels dont rub at all so very happy.theres alot more grip there now but still lights the wheels up with ease. im hopeing once i lower the rear down it will help with weight transfer and give it a bit more grip aswell.
i finally got round to painting the brakes yesterday aswell. i took some photos to post up but stupid me forgot to put the memory card back in the camera so have no idea what happened to them, ill put some up soon

Lookin good. Can I ask where you got your tyres and how much they were? Are they the new design with the asymmetrical tread pattern? I reckon they are one of the best tyres around and want to put them on my 19s. I had them on my 16s and they were damn good.

You got a good deal! They are a real good tyre, they've won a few Australian tyre tests. They are exceptionally good in the wet, and we all know VLs need a fair bit of help in the traction department!

That is a very good price for a quality tyre of that size... My old 18" Potenza G III's were around $280 per tyre and that was with a hearty discount too.
I just priced up how much to replace the 235/35/19 Yokohama Advan sports i have on my car at the moment... Anyone like to hazard a guess??? How about $590 each! That's actually for the newer version that has superseded them but still...
Anyone know someone that wants to throw some cheap tyres my way?
Later,
J
