cop cars aftermarket wheels?

[benny mckellar]

ok any1 know anything about this saw a marked xr6 cop car yesterday with rims like the advanti medusas and they looked to be about 18's. didn't have a camera at the time sorry.

[andyman]

maybe they smashed the old ones and it was cheaper to fit those? or its part of this new operation getting in with the 'hoons' kind of thing

[TVR-190]

dont see how theyd be cheaper then interceptor rims.

[Torquative]

XR6 dont run interceptor rims, they run the factory XR6 rims so it is a possibility

Although that said I'm sure some of the F6 Typhoons are running different rims, what appears to be a falcon club/fpv club sticker and no red/blue lights or antennas . Had one behind me the other day, didnt spot it as a cop car til I saw the passenger stick a red/blue LED light box onto the windscreen via suction cap (imagine sticking a GPS onto your windscreen but substitute GPS for flashing lights) as it overtook me on the freeway.

Dunno what rims it was running coz it was at high speed, but they werent normal FPV rims thats for sure, and once it passed me the rear window had the sort of sticker a club car would have, similar to our JCCC NSW stickers on the rear windows of our cars

Their getting more harder to spot

A little off topic but the other day saw an SS that was an undercover (blue if it means anything) and it had pulled over a car.
The cool thing was it had the indicators and reverse lights flashing, but the reverse lights were flashing blue which looked really cool (in NSW btw).
Does any one know if they have blue reverse lights in the cars or if they have a blue one as an extra light in the reverse light part ??

[TVR-190]

strobe lights with blue and red lens covers most likely.

thats basically what it is

Probably a blue LED strobe... I've seen them around here before with the strobes added in the reverse light area.

[benny mckellar]

hi yeah i know about the using modified cars to try and bust hoons but this was a marked car lights stickers etc

[TVR-190]

cant see why they would, unless it offered some sort of gain, which i cant really see either.

Considering they cost over 700 bucks youd think theyd opt for stock rims, why bother making a marked cruiser look good?
