What do you reckon ?

Looks pretty nice :thumbsup:

I'll have to see this calais of yours one day

 

[sixshooter]

Cheers Matt! I'm just thinking of some options atm...that red wagon on this board looks nice with em on...also I've seen another wagon and a Statesman with em on... I think the lines and square-ish spokes tie in nicely with the square-ish spotties and Calais stripping.

Yes i have been drooling over that wagon too moreso the ride height though.. it is a nice peice of work!

I've got some kspeed formula d's in mind if i'm able to get the wagon in botanica,,, especially with the chrome stiping on the berlina it would tie in very nicely.. but that's last on the list of things to do (or maybe just above a sub install ) .

Is that a photoshop? The proportions just don't look right.

Anyway, its your car mate. Do as you please and don't worry about everyone else.

The only problem as I see it is the hub sizes. Wheels are supposed to be tight fitting on the hub. If there is any clearance at all, you can snap wheel studs. Check that they're the right size before you buy them. IIRC, Holden went from 70mm to 71.5mm on some models...

Yeah Clixanup...you guessed right it's a photoshop... I couldn't get the rear wheel looking right with what I had to work with....it's a rough job !
Thanks for the info !!! :thumbsup:

Not to my taste. IMHO the thing needs to be lowered just a bit (don't dump it on the ground though!) That would be a great start. Then, IMHO the monaro CV8Z wheels will have much more class.
