Hahaha yeah, good thinking with the wheels man, i was secretly hoping you wouldnt put 20's on it.
Think of all the low rider imapalas and what not with 100 spoke rims, most of em are only bout 15" but damn they are tuff, and can go LOOOOWER!!

they all run on 13"s mate, lol **** tiny, but look tuff, and only gay thing bout running wires on commodore hub is u have to get reverse offset, which means they've got no dish like all the impalas u c

but ye thats looking pretty tuff mate, u got any body mods planed? definatly need the caprice grill on there

thanx mate!
yeh i luv the look of the 13" spokes on impalas... its actully forward offset i think that has no dish, and reverse has the deep dish... but forward is what i wanted anywayz so they poke out lol
no body mods planned really, i like the look of statesmans how they are.. but yeh needs a caprice grill bad..
eventully i wana get suicide doors done on the rear but that will be a while..


cheers!

hey bloke seen ya drivin this the other day, looks good. yopu should be able to get a decent ammount of dish on the back with the vq's 24p offset, my rims have like a 2inch lip with a 35p offset rim so for sure you could get another inch or 2 with a 24p rim.

Lookin good mate, caprice grille looks mint.
You should also invest in some driving lights, will look mint with the 100 spoke rims, got a pic of what they look like?
Would have cost a packet coming from the states?
