My New VL! (first car)

[RobboVl]

Update (18/5/2011)
So i saved up a little amount of cash, And i saw a pair of VE 16' stockies on eBay with tyers already on them wich had about 65% of tread on them.
I figured i'd get them, all i had to get done was get the centers ground out to fit, i got that done for $60.

I chucked them on and hers how they look: It's a shitty pic..

I was planning to get center caps and thought they looked decent, They raised up the car alot but anyway..

BUT the bad thing is, The two front wheel rub on the bottom of the springs, and the springs actually move when i turn the wheels..

I can't really be botherd spending more money and fixing it all up, So i've decided to get a cheap pair of silver 15ichers, Hopefully these will work!

cheers!

The VK rear end does look much nicer then a VL, never really noticed how much till that comparison shot.

 

[RobboVl]
