It will be re-paired and re-painted. since its on the build. i cant make a decision on silver or gold centres, also will have a nice 10/15mm white wall too.

Paint them holden hsv "champagne" and piss the walls off, Simmons are a classy rim, it's not worth playing boy racer and doing walls IMO.

not a bad idea.
Well for the 17's i got a good price on them. 17x8, 2 inch lip all round, might get the rears with a 3inc, since 2 lips is a bit scuffed up.
For the 18's i could just put another $800-$1000 on it and get some 19's.
so all i want is polished fr20's ( not any time soon since its 5 k)
Thought ill do the fr17's and get my self a THREE WAY ELECTRIC SUNROOF

I think Champagne would be best because its not quite as common as well.

03-01-13, 05:04 GMT+10#16 go 16" gold centred B45's instead, they suit the era of the car best and no young guy wanna be racer look
plus good tyres are very cheap in that size

Spend money on getting wider dish instead of a sunroof ...anyway its your car, do it way you want it.

:P arr 2 inc lip on the front is enough i guess.
remember seeing your white vl exec on the Simmons. would you have a rough clue on how much it would cost for two rear 3 inc lips. also is there much difference on the stepped lip .. ?
So far i think its going to be gold
9--- Gold
5--- Silver
2--- Hsv champagne
