    i was warned by many people in town that i wouldn't want to go any bigger than 19", as it's very easy to smash up a 19" letalone anything bigger. They might have just warned me due to the 100's of potholes around town..

    Man thats awesome!

    How much did they set you back if its not too much of a blunt Q?

    I saw a set off Ebay for $1,850 and was dieing to get them but after ringing around I was seriously warned it wasnt worth getting them because of all the screwing around that has to be done?

    Did you encounter issues or did you buy them direct from a wheel shop???

    looks tough, normally commodores sit realy high with 19 or 20's, but with the superlows it looks awesome, does it scrub at all with the 20's and super lows?

    i don't usualy like going bigger than 18" but am toying with a set of 19" vz clubsport wheels for my vy ss, not sure what they'd look like on an ss in white, any suggestions?
    that or the vy cv8 wheels 18" and either set with super low springs all round,

    gives me an idea of what it will sit and look like a bit looking at yours, awesome

    Dont compress the springs. Buy new ones. Pair of SL's and SSL's(rear) will sit nicely, But if you want it real low. Go SSL(front) SSSL(rear) but you'll have to do alot of ****ing round wit 20's to get it not to scrap or anything.

    LOL you really think that your 20" wheels/tyres raises your car? It's an optical illusion because the bottom of the wheel (not tyre) sticks out further from the chassis.
