So, the Senator Sigs sold.


Anyhoo, went to fit up the ceptors as planned and "DOH" wont fit over the PBR calipers up front. So now im either going to have to change back to standard brakes, or, fit different rims.

Here are some idea's i've had:

VY Clubsport R8's (currently on my VT)

VY Clubsport R8's, but in charcoal. Which is "one shade tougher than gunmetal grey"

You can fit some 15'' wheels but not others i have found, 2 of the 5 VH sle wheels fitted but the others rubbed on the brakes in a few spots. Pretty nice looking old stato, i would love to get my hands on the one like yours at the Wagga tafe, only 400km since new just in and out of the tafe shed, 304 as well.

These calipers are PBR ones, so they're bigger than the standard VT ones im pretty sure. There's only a 8mm gap between the caliper and inside of the rim with a 17 on it, so fitting anything smaller is going to be impossible?

Liked the sigs better.. If you paint it flat black and dump it you will be getting pulled by the cops flat out..
