looks cool, but remember, this is something that you could do yourself for $5-$15

It doesnt look like the $5 - $15 lighting.
You have to see it to know what i mean thou.

vn2nv - did you make it to extreme?
I spent most of today house hunting but i was there for a few hours.

Nup I spent the day at Wheel places...

I put my old rims back on to use the leftover rubber :p and the locknut key is broken. I cant get the freaking rims off.

I went to tyrepower in town, two bob janes, a profix and an ultra tune. None could remove the wheels!!!!

I dont know what to do. I've been driving around with dirty big 19's on my back seat all day :'(

if ur not needing the lock nuts to be used again only way i can think is mig welding on a nut head and then undo it, or slit a line in it with a angle grinder and use a cold chisel or big screw driver to undo it. if ur dead set on keeping the set ur stuffed....
are they the gorilla locks you said before in another thread? becuase if they are they must be good, if you and many tyre shops cant get them off:D

cant wait to see some pics of your car, it will stand out even more now, keep up the top work:thumbsup:

that sounds like the only way they will come off. and if he would prefer to burn the old tyres instead of selling them he obviously can afford new locknuts:yeah:

haha Cheers man. I got the lock nuts off using a 23mm socket which I grinded down to size to fit in the wheel holes...

As if tyrepower and bob janes couldnt do it ffs...

Anyways got my NEW wheels and NEW locknuts back on :D

Will post some pics, just gotta load em on my comp now... Had a few troubles with tyres rubbing on the guard on the front but removed the screw and bent the guard back a bit and she's all good.

Strut is soooooooo close to the tyre...
