    Depends what look you're going for mate.
    I have always liked VY SS rims on vl's.
    But for toughness ceptors with dress rings or simmons fr's always look good....

    They were SL's, that had a coil cut off before i got them, then i cut another two coils off at tradeschool and fitted them and rolled the guards in the carpark.

    My project ute (1983 Ford Courier) had about 2 coils cut off the front and a few leafs taken off the back (I think it was running on 2 leafs on the reas as opposed to the stock 4 or 5) and it was so low that when I drove it onto the trailer, the resinator hit the trailer bottom and smashed a hole where the resinator's welded to the pipe :/

    This is when I just put the new diff on:
