    yeah mate evryone loves a set of vy ss rims,
    id say go for something hell extravagant, its the rims that make a car, really defining and individual, dont go stinjy either.
    id say a set of nice polished black 18's.
    but thats me.

    and mate got my thing off ebay too, for 375 all up.
    looks pretyy nice hey, probly paint my border gold (to go with the dash)
    should come up sweet.

    its just plastic ay?

    yeh i was thinking of some black rims for it but dont want them to look like stockies lol
    maybe get vy ss rims and paint them black lol

    i got mine for 370 delivered which was alright, looks really good in the car.
    yeh its just plastic but you have to file the corners so they fit in nicely

    yeah ive seen that done before, shadow chrome vy ss rims, looked pretty madd.
    good to hear it looks good in the car, its a pretty nice lookin unit from what ive seen. should pump out a bit of sound, its got 50wx4 rms output, so shud be good for some new speakers too.

    check out my ride if u want mate.
    cheers

    great first car bud!
    i reckon the VT is a realllly nice first car.... but im a little bias haha

    very nice, looks very nice n clean n everything... plus nothing wrong with being stock! mine is still as stock as it came from the factory n ive had it over two years haha pathetic!

    also, the truck height may not be the most attractive looking thing... but my missus had no trouble finding a way to scrape the front bumper, so a tip, if youre gonna let your missus drive... dont lower it loll

    nahh, itll look mad!! cant wait to see the finished product

    yeh the decks really good, looks awesome in it. i love the 19's but i want to get a vk as a project, i've always loved them , would of had one as my first car but it was stolen a few years ago and it was manual too! and i'd rather have the vk which would mean less insurance without the 19's and less to worry about on my car.
