Nooo not Superlights for this haha as much as I like, them the chasers and whitewalls look tight! :(

 

Cheers, Ben.

lol, i love the look of superlites, I'm still gonna keep the chasers but they aren't the best fit in the world, one of em as a slight buckle i found out and one has a different offset to the other 3 :(. are steel wheels able to be modifed to suit my car perfectly? as in can u change the offset/pattern? if so i would most likely spend the money to do that rather then buy a whole new set of wheels. i just want a nice set of 15s, that don't vibrate when u drive on em hah.

[smeetsy1]

Get them! :(

[benzo]

Yeah thats the thing about steelies, they always vibrate. hmm sounds a bit dodgy with 1 wheel different to the others and buckled. You might be able to get something done, but I have no idea lol.

 

Cheers, Ben.

well 2 of em i pinched off the panelvan n the othr 2 i got for free from a mate, the 2 dodgy ones came off the panelvan lol. so atleast i didn't pay anythin for em, i just sprayed em up n slapped some tyres on em. ill suss something out n see if i can get em fixed. i'd still prefer to get the superlites aswell :(. not until the car get resprayed tho, thats the next priority after registration.

i can give u the number of the guy in Bayswater who modded my steelies to make 13 x 7's. he did a good job. your's should be no probs.

 

A.J.'S WHEELS

 

hmmm can't find the number atm.

 

will post later, or there's www.whitepages.com.au :lolcry:

[radrollaz]

where do you buy the trim rings from?

Jono, try American Auto spares. :lolcry:

[radrollaz]

No shit, mega jealous here mate.

 

As for centre caps, RadRollaz on here has a similar wheel and tyre combo and is running standard ke30 centre caps.

 

They should look pretty mickey on a KE2* too.

 

Cheers, Ben.

Hi guys i used standard ke30 centre caps and welded the inner braket on to rim so i could get them to stay on, little bit of mucking around but looked good in the end. By the way i love your wagon and pano , also your wheels look identical to mine but mine are R31 skyine . I just love that blaked out look :lolcry: Now I'm keen to get my sunvisor on the car as yours looks great. :yes:

mmm, just quickly. I'm having trouble finding the VIN for this thing, i found the old rego label from last year in the glovebox which has the engine number (which i found) but has another number on it which I'm assuming is the VIN, but i can't find it in the engine bay. theres a number on the firewall that starts with KE26-xxx.... but it doesn't match the number on the rego label.

any idea where i could find it? iv looked on the build plates etc but can't see anything :).

[benzo]

Sorry Sim can't help ya there I have no idea! lol

 

Lookin shmick mate, can't wait til its registered so it can be slammed proper..

 

agreed that the 12s look better than the chasers.

 

Cheers, Ben.

[Doogs]

Looks great sim, can't wait to cruise with you.

 

Just out of interest, what tyres are those and where did you get them ?

(I assume the whitewalls were an aftermarket job)

 

Hopefully will have the 20 painted and ready by August :)

Hey Sim,

 

car is looking awesome. can't wait to se it after panel and paintwork.

 

re the VIN number, cars before around 1990 didn't have a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)

 

the number ke26 xxx is the body number

 

the number on the rego label is the serial number which is only a Vicroads reference number.

 

 

hope this helps,

 

Dave
