Opinions wanted

Postby toddy » August 22nd, 2012, 8:44 pm

hey guys
I recently picked up some terrys and chucked them on the BA...
i dont know if they suit it or not and i have had a very mixed response to it...
In my eyes its needs to be a few inches lower to really pull it off.
What do you think? :confused:

Even the 17" pursuit wheels will look better than that.. because they'll look nearly standard.

They'd go ok on an au ute (tradie/dunger/NT rapist spec). They suit a car that you wouldn't give a ahit about.

Those wheels = WIN!

I like Territorys, but only on base model cars. Ghias need that bit of class still :P

bently, your BA looked mint on the silver terrys. Might of had something to do with the ride height though!

Ride height plays a big part in wheel selection as well.
