lol was think about stockies and 225's or 235's on the rear, 215's on the front, but already done that to my VN i had lol ( its an absolute prick to find 4 good condition 15 x 7 interceptors lol luckily i found a VZ cop car at the wreckers hehe ) but am going to put some VE SSV 19" rims on after i chrome them

i just love the factory equipe paint colour. definately my favourite colour on vs, it just seems to make the car look newer and fresher than all the dreary brown and maroon ones. im not too keen on the equipe stockies though they look a tad dated in my opinion. ive just got some cheapo csa mags on mine at the moment. id really love to get some vr clubby mags, vs senator mags or possibly vt ss mags for it though

yeh i dont like the stocko's, going to get a set of VE SSV 19's for it soon and get them chromed, or if i cant find a pair a set of CV8-Z rims, and yeh i like the Botanica colour to, although the cops like it to , they pull me up all the time because my cars registered as blue ( as the colour is botanic mica blue, although you have to wax it 40 times, hold ya head the right way just to see the blue lol )

[RazzaCaine]

ive never been pulled over in mine before. used to get pulled over all the time in my rx7 when i had it but the vs is definately a fly under the radar car. the ve ssv wheels will look good on it. theres an equipe near my work which has a set on them and they look fair good on it

[spacattack]

well what do you think? good or bad for 5000ks old? lol
