    i cant take all the credit, it was a photoshop done by someone on the forum here, and i just really liked the idea :)

    so today was a productive day, i ending up selling the stockies that wernt right for the car, i purchased them for $20, used $10 worth of paint and sold them, guess how much the person bought them for! ;) a prize for anyone who guesses it!

    i also found some COMMODORE stockies for a very cheap price, $50 with decent tread, and picked them up today, the only problem is they need a real good paint, and one is realllyyyy bent, but it has a good tyre, so ill be going to the wreckers to pick up one more stockie :) then all there is to do it paint up the 5 (including spare), get some white walls, which my wonderful girlfriend will be getting ;) and yeah, there it is.


    and on another note MY SYSTEM GOES IN ON SATURDAY! :D

    Some pictures, cause everyone loves pictures.

    they are at supercheap, $15 for 4. otherwise ebay, just measure up the ones you already have and get the same size but chrome its cheaper.

    i got mine today, my sound system goes in this weekend, and the stockies will be on next weekend maybe with some centres and trims :D

    I found some at Sprint today, but they only had two left $2.50 each so $40 for 16.
    Definitely get some pics as soon as you get the wheels done

    Yeah I've checked eBay. They actually cost more because I have to pay for postage.
    Yeah the chrome trim will look sick with chrome centers.

    Big update!
    MY SOUNDS SYSTEM IS IN!
    i cant remember the codes for the speakers and crap but i have:

    ~clarion headunit, with bluetooth.
    ~6.5" speakers with tweeters in the front door (hertz)
    ~6.5" speakers in the rear parcel try (hertz)
    ~12" rockerford P1 sub
    ~Hertz 4 channel Amp

    overall i am very happy with it and would recommend Lifestyle car audio to anyone.

    I also sanded/painted up my ceptors and threw them on today, luckly because my front tyre was on the wire.

    all i need now is centres, and flappers and the look is done.

    I know what you mean, but im kinda leaning towards the stockies, they give it a much meaner look, and the white walls that will soon be on will change the look even more.

    Haha yeah it does abit, i love how fat the tyres look, but thats all gunna change very soon with these flappers :D

    haha yeah, when the time comes :p im not minding the stockies look anyways.

    yeah the sub is really good, its very clear and has alot of bass, hopefully will be durable.
