I would just get as mentioned 16 nuts and 4 lock nuts, or if you want taleb tyres on here sell tuner nuts which are essentially all lock nuts and they're $40 a set.I think from memory I paid $15 a tyre for fitting and balance (beaurepaires) and wheel alignment was $60 from Jax quickfit. So definitely should be found cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sorted me out for everything; balancing, alignment, 16 chrome wheel nuts and 4 lock nuts. All done and fitted. Reasonably priced to boot. My car is no FPV but I will update the pics when I get the wheels installed. People may want to see what a BF Wagon looks like with FG XR6 wheels and fat tyres. Sweetness.TD.

Car handles much better than the 215 60 R16 steel wheels. Noise and harshness doesn't seem to have increased too much over the standard setup. Steering wheel has a more meaty feel to it as well.It's no FPV or XR6 but here is a pic that might help other Wagon owners see what FG wheels look like on their car. These wheels can be bought cheap on eBay and Gumtree, have a look out. Edited 05/12/12 10:41 AM by Turbo Dreamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
