can't say I'm a fan of those wheels. The rest sounds good though.

Welcome to the forums.

I usually hate those wheels... but surprisingly I think they look pretty good, and would even go as far as to say they suit it nicely! Sits tough too! Lose the pin-striping though ;)

Naw, I could swear in the second pic it's got pin-striping just below the body-crease-line-thing... Damn old age is getting to me I'm going blind! (or maybe it's the booze)

Did you hook up an AU Tickford style snorkel? Yeah from memory I think they needed heating where it fouls on the PS pump pulley. The ELGT snorkels don't have this problem :D

Nice ride, but I'm with Homad, not a fan of the wheels.

I'm with you. I'm not usually a fan of those rims (see them on every second VX etc) but it's actually refreshing to see them on an EF. They suit it really well.

i see alot of people r very sceptical on the wheels and i dont blame u guys i was at first too but i got the wheels off a mate who had them on his slammed and i mean slammed 5speed eb legit too (which is now for sale) and it looked real tuff and he was sellin the car wit em but the car wasn't up to my standards so i brought the wheels for 1500 no scrathes or marks and 98%tread on the goodyear f1 so i wasn't complainin n neither is andrew lol and commando about the intake uh it was a ss induction brought for $90 brand new i didn't cut the whole quite big enough n when i fitted it i didn't check properly n well yeah u kno the rest

regarding the SS Induction snorkel, that's a bit of a bummer, but that's the thing with hindsight eh
