Trumpy What's happening? Lifetime Members 1,605 Member For: 22y 6m 14d Gender: Male Location: Steel City, NSW Posted 08/03/04 04:43 AM Share Posted 08/03/04 04:43 AM I am one of the ones that has experienced the wheels being stuck on. I removed the black disk after changing to DBAs (the slots look cool, alright), and found that a week or 2 later the wheel was very hard to remove. Had also read the same from a member here (and at FF- JR is his name), so I have re-installed my black disks. I think it is more to do with the 17 in rims than the 18s. There was a big thread on the whole issue, but cant for the life of me find it right now.

Met him and saw his car at yesterdays show'n'shine, he popped in during the afternoon as he was in the area.

If so I had a good perve at your car - what was with the BA N/a that had removed the 6 from the end of the XR6 on external badges ? I didn't get that.....My better half used to work with Bruce H.

That was JR's car. Just the other week he had the carbon fibre XR8 bonnet with the bulge unpainted and also a carbon fibre GT wing put on. He previously had the '6' on his car but I think he doesn't want to give the game away too easily that it's a N/a six with an XR8 bonnet. He is looking to get them made up in big numbers for people and so far the XR8 is the only one they have made up, his is sort of a prototype, but there have been a few others made.
