    Hubcaps.... Stockies just look wankerish.
    Also why the hell does your Vt sit so high, I wish ours sat that high.

    I would if I could justify the costs Should be getting a weekender next year though, still cant beat ride height on a daily
    Dunno, ours is "stock height" and sits way lower, but it might just be 270,000km's of spring sag making it sit lower.

    hahah, thanks for the feedback guys, keep it coming.

    Yeah, i am a bit of a bogan, I am a north QLD'er so yeah...lol. I have had the hubbies on since i got it and yes i reckon it does look good with the hubbies, but i also do like the look of it with the black stockies.

    The car isn't raised nor has it been lowered. That is the stock height. I've got heavy duty suspension on the back (had to get new suspension coz it actually looked lowered when it was full of crap). It's done 280.000km but runs like a beauty, and is manual as well

    I wouldn't mind getting some black and silver mags but that would require me to lower it right? which means $$$$
    ...something i don't have

    thanx

    mm well i dont personally like either, id have went with a back window sticker rather than a spray on the side of the vt...

    colour not bad, needs rims, clear indicators springs and some tint before we go anywhere though.

    if you're trying to advertise your business on your car i'd put the caps back on, looks a whole lot better when you're trying to convince people to give you their money and let you detail their car.
