Took me a long time to convince my better half to let me get them.I was deliberating between a few choices, Advanti, Advan, Enkei but after finding out these brands are around $700 plus per wheel Idecided to go with the Speedy Fin FS 01 in 18 x 8.5 fitting with some cheap 245 wide rubber, Rotalla is the brand. (Dont know if they are good or bad)Ended up getting the package for $1620 with a set of lock nuts as well. I got them from Actions Tires on the Goldy, travelled 650kms to get them too.My local area was $300 more expensive and said it would take 3 to 4 weeks to get the rims, Action Tires was over night from Sydney haha.I am super happy with the look of the car know, it gives it a bit of a racer look which was the plan.So next on the agenda is a stage 1 or 2 Process West kit and a tune although it might take me a while to get approval for that one.Hope ya'll like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as I am not looking at insane amounts of power, I will be going with the Process West S2.1 package deal with a SCT tune from my local performance store. I just like the look of the PW kits, to me they seem finished better then others I have looked at.Ive already got a Xforce cat back twin 2 1/2 and a upgraded fuel pump with some 60lb deakins to go in, so without doing anything else apart from the cooler kit and tune I am hopeful for around 300rwkw.Just a question though, the local mechanics around this area charge an arm, leg and a kidney so I am planning on installing the cooler kit myself. After install, would the car be able to be driven to the performance store without causing any problems? Its only around 10km of 60k limits.
