My Vr

[bittsa]

i bought this VR off my father last year. since then i have lowered it and put rims on it. please let me know what you think of the rims. i get 3 responses from people, some love it, some hate it, and a few dont know what to think. also got calais grilss for $25 . i built a custom sub box and now harnesses 2 12inch kenwood subs. the body needs a little work, but as a spraypainter the only thing holding me back is time.







those are the rims i had on the car, now they are for sale ($650)as i have replaced them with the 17's. i decided to go from the 18's back to 17's because i was sick of worrying about the tyres. im an apprentice and having the car lowered the camber is hard on the tyres and i cant afford to replace them.



ive put the 18's back on it and tryed to get some nice night shots, camera is crap. this is the only one that came out. i have a problem, ive bought a set of second hand rear end superlows, i put them on the car, then found out that they are out of a VZ maloo. are these springs different to VR-VS springs? ive had 3 sets of lowered springs in the back of the car now and it has not gone down. is there any reason for this other than wrong springs?

oh and the rims are still for sale as i have another set lined up, but must sell my 18's first.

will update shortly

Sounds good. Can't wait for pics.

i got jibbed with the lowered springs. i bought second hand ones from a parts dealer and got them home and fitted them. the fronts dropped just right. but the back didnt move. the stock springs had sagged with age, so the springs i had put in were lowered a little, but didnt change my ride hight, just stiffened the ride. so i went back and got them changedfor 'lowered springs'..... it didnt changed!!!! AHHH!

so now im rolling with the stance of old school muscle, im a new school family car. i will go back again, third times a charm, but i only paid $80 so i cant get to fussy.

totally agree. 18's are getting cheaper and cheaper. but if you feel the need to keep the 17's - they are ok. i would paint them high gloss black. which would'nt be hard if your in the trade

i really dont want to get rid of the 18's but im in much need of the funds.

how much are we talking to replace 18inch tyres? ive had 3 cars, gonna buy my 4th tommorow and never paid for new tyres. ive replaced the commies stockos 3 time i call it practice, but i only paid $50 for the pair.

[bittsa]

how much modifiying will VY rear seats need to fit my car? i really want to upgrade!

[Pimpt6]

Car looks good bro. .I have to agree with joey-19 and dvsv8 .The vz ss are a good looking rim. These days pretty sure you can get cheap 18s for about $140 each? Could be cheaper in your state though. .

[bittsa]

ive had the 18's on for a month or 2 and already need new rear tyres.... i have heavy feet.
