I would do both for an equally short time......

Fixed

As a 17 it would look off the fucking planet. Still looks good. It's like the external Kylie vs Danii Minogue debate. You'd happily fuck either, but one you'd like to fuck a little bit more.

You could not have put that better.

 

 

Edit: Nath, you just lost your place in my sig.

Picture quality is shit too, makes it hard.

 

Best i can do.

 

 

Hmmm, are you guys sure they are not available yet? I'm near positive I've seen them on a few toranas months, possibly even a year, ago.

 

Edit: maybe they where just photoshops.

Bit of a high jack here, but what's your thoughts on the 17 inch Hotwire coming out?

Yep, very period looking, I dig them, like early BBS. They aren't Hotwires though, they were one-piece cast and machined face.

Ahhh, yeah good point gerg they aren't hotwires. NZXD, you where probably referring to "actual" hotwires, the ones the Torrana boys are running?

If that's the case, I do like them too, seen them on a few torrys, another thumbs up for me.

Bit of a high jack here, but what's your thoughts on the 17 inch Hotwire coming out?

If your referring to these ones http://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/221827184399 then my thoughts are a big thumbs up, I'd love a set.

I like the fronts but for some reason the backs don't look right, maybe they need a bit of dish?

Yeah I do agree, I think they need a wider wheel for the rear they sit too far in the guard, there just seems to be too much room there.

Here's the real thing.

 

 

Not to everyone's taste, I know. But look damn good to me.

I paid $200 for a guy to rebuild the carby on an Econo van I had years ago. (I shouldn't say had, I still have it, been functioning as a shed for set of wheels and lawn mowing gear for the last few years though)

Low profile tyres on big rims don't suit older cars.

 

Just like 14s with heaps of rubber would look retarded on an FG.

 

Other than the wheels I reckon it looks sweet.

 

big wheels on classic cars reminds me of:

 

 

you'll fine some "uleee" buyers with no taste and it's a sure way to damage any brand down the track

 

16"on the front and 17" on the rears would do an gt replica OK, probably 8" fronts and 9.5" rears

 

We all like different shit, i know, but i have to disagree

 

 

Greens tuf is about the tuffest looking car ever as as far as i'm concerned.

I'd really like a set.

Me too

A brake upgrade for the xf is inevitable, this combo looks like a good prospect.

Rebuilt girlock caliper with QFM pads and DBA T2 rotors.

When you say rebuilt girllock calipers, do you mean the stock calipers?

Btw how much are those t2 rotors and Qfm pads, and where do you get em?

i have the ultimas, i'm happy with them for the price, they do the lob well enough for a cruiser anyway.

I don't think it would be too bad. Pics might make make it to see but it looks like the plastic has split from age more than damage.

Theyre not scratch marks or anything either, it's just where dirt has built up on the residue.

 

And if you don't want stone chips, fit a bonnet protector - as in a plastic one.

 

 

Ahhh. I thought they where scratches / marks from stones etc.

 

Not into any form of bonnet protectors personally. Maybe if i was going on a massive road trip i might consider a car bra if i was trying to protect a fresh paint job.

Yeah that looks shite. Imagine how bad the paint would be if it was never there though

Nice, deWalt! No fucking around with the cheap stuff

Sweet.

 

Had a quick look through, and liking what I see. Have to check this out in more detail later.

Some great work so far mate.

Sounds tough

Yeah price is too much to be really appealing, just exited cause I've been dreaming about these for years.

Hmm not sure. Look a little big as 19s I think.

Maybe 17s would be okay, but just not really appealing to me.

 

Not everyone's a visionary.......

 

 

Why did they only do em as an 8" width. Need more fat.

 

Agreed, but they wouldn't be a cheap exercise to have made, gotta judge the market and start somewhere.

Time to brighten this thread up a bit

 

 

 

 

 

 

Definately not a fan.

Ahh who cares what you think anyway!

 

 

Lol at that image btw

I don't think they look silly on XY's but i do agree they are the bomb on XD's

XY GT clone crew are gonna love these
