Damn what a nice ute! is that beast for the street or track?

Reason I ask is just cause of the helmet.

 

[PetesProject]

Oh...then I just read this "• Tune for better speed down Eastern Creek straight"

Sweet looking setup you've got there. Where abouts did you get your wheels? I want them on my ute.

Cheers mate. Got them from a bloke called AJ from All Wheels in Prospect, NSW. You can order them online from a few places though

I'm sorry but whenever I hear the phrase "red-rocket" it reminds me of South Park.

Hi mate, just wanna start by saying the ute look prime! Also, do you know the specs of the wheels? like width and offset?
Cheers mate.

 

[red_rocket05]

Cheers mate. Wheel width is 8.5 and had maximum offset to fit the ap calipers so pretty sure it is 42
