timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 19d Gender: Male Posted 08/01/13 08:15 AM Share Posted 08/01/13 08:15 AM Looks great and saved some weight as well! I was looking at the front and rear photos of the car and I was thinking gosh,the FG makes the Expensive Daewoo equivalent look like it was designed by a 17 year old kid.The HSV is gross while the FG has a flair of design that is both subtle and yet doesn't reveal the car's purpose until the driver stomps on the right pedal..................but that's just my opinion.

Tomorrow I'm freed up some time to de-rust the hub area and spray it with some high heat resistant black paint so that it doesn't rust anymore.Next will be to progressively increase rear tyre size 285, then 295, then 305...until it hits the guard.....then get that rolled. Hopefully it'll hold 1st and 2nd at that stage haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!Here's a break down of the price......then you might think it's pretty good hahaFronts 840/eRears 915/eSo 3,510 rims only.....The rest was for tyres. I couldn't fork out anymore coin for some good rubber at the same time and I had the option to fit them the day before I went on holidays for a week (meaning that I had to take whatever 275s for the rear that were lying around.......nankangs :( ) haha..So I couldn't have gone on holidays and the suspense of whether they'll fit or not would have killed me.....So I got 245 Falken 452s and 275 Nankangs......never again will I buy Nankangs hahah soooo sh*ttyAnd they weren't on jacks for long, the other hoist were busy....so fitted then rolled onto hoist for alignment Edited 08/01/13 08:30 AM by will_045 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a real high quality car with brembos as well. Now you just gotta do me a deal I can't refuse on the F6 wheels. Ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I could ever spend that much on rims.... but I can't stop looking at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 4m 16d Posted 08/01/13 11:19 AM Share Posted 08/01/13 11:19 AM Looks great. hot looking FG.Weights always been a factor in any wheel Ive looked at. You can definitely feel the difference. Seem a bit lost in translation fittling nankangs and falkens for that matter.As for width... the 10 inch rear with a +35 will limit you to 285's with the guards rolled. that's it.
