what springs are in it? It looks tidy but the alloys defiantly suit it betteri want the SSZ wheels lol.
Fronts springs are Pedders 2275 and Rears are Pedders 2643, equivalent to super lows I’d say.
I will put the SSZ's on, just need to fix them up a bit and respray them, they are pretty rough at the moment, but I’ll keep them silver.

Best way to fix them, I've done lots of wheels. Is get a lil kit from bunnings its a piece you slide into your drill you get like a piece of sand paper thats a circle slide it over and do it up so it expends and hold it tight. I use a hammer drill and just go around it gently with the roughest paper circle it comes with to get the bulk then go around with the lightest circle that it comes with. you just slide them on the same drill piece each time
Costs about $30 and comes with Wire wheels for a drill too!
Then i use wet sand paper to go over where you take the scratches of and just sand them down smooth. or good as. I used auto All primer on the face, then Ended up using Silver wheel paint mine came up good. I wouldn't recommend using clear coat though
Only down fall with getting them painted with clear from a panel beater, is it flakes off and most of the time you get run marks. at least if you do a coat and don't like it because of run marks just have a thin Wet sand paper to go over it before the next coat. Mine aren't perfect but a shiat load Better than what they were.
how mine looked
this is after taking the main scratches out, and about to wet sand it and make all of it smooth.
this is how they can turn out Not perfect but its alot better

Cheers, thanks for the tips. Yours turned out really nice! What kind of silver paint did you use? I have Dupli colour silver wheel coating that I painted my stockies with, it has a nice metallic flake in it.

Mines not a metallic silver, because I wanted to keep them very similar colour to the factory Silver colour that holden came out with. I'll have a look tonight and let you know what brand it is. But its one you buy from autobarn Makes a massive difference priming it properly. I always prime them so i can see anything wrong with them i can smooth out before i put the paint on. Usually takes about 4 or 5 really light coats. Caking it on turns to **** on massive spoked wheels.
