I have the same wheels.

If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for them?

My car isn't lowered at all but with a full tank and a passenger in the back and a 25kg suitcase in the boot, my car scrubbed on acceleration. I have lipped and pumped my guards aswell. So just be careful on how much you do lower it.

did you have any problems when you got guards rolled? like paint cracking ect?

I got Sydney Guard rolling to do it. I was very happy with the job. I told him not to worry if he cracked the painted because it was getting re-sprayed anyway and he was still being careful and didn't crack the paint. He uses a heat gun to soften the paint so it can bend.

I highly recommend him.

Alrite time for a update. I got the car lowerd on King Springs, went with SL front and SSL rear. The guy said wait about a month so it settles in nicely then it will go abit lower, its been a week and I want it to hurry up! I painted the brake caliper parts and the rusted parts and it turned out pritty nice. On the front brakes I put my side skirt XR badges on it so it was something diffrent. Also with badges got custom turbo ones for the back ( since the normal badge was missing the "o" and I couldn't resist with the FPV badge...FLAME ON! :nono:

As time goes im getting closer to the mods, going by the I am currently I will have the full plenum+cooler+zorst etc in about a month and half max (unless something unexpected happens)

Here are some Pictures of the car currently:

As you can see on the Front Right (passenger side) the front lip is missing, it came off on the free way and I didnt realise that's what it was till I got home. I asked Fraud Dealer for a new one and was quoted $350 unpainted then plus GST. If anyone knows where I could find one for cheap that would be great! or I might have to go with a Foon bar insted.

Also how much more will the car drop in susp? Or I might be having to change them for SSSL rears...

Cost me $2780.00 Inc GST and that also included guards rolling and so far so good, I wish it was alot lower lol

Nope they used a machine which pritty much bolted on where the wheel goes, heated up the paint with the heat gun then rolled it with the machine, they had to heat it up every like 30 sec.
