    I'm getting a bit sick of the VX S 16 inch wheels. What do you think I should get for it? What size would be bets too? Is there too big? Obviously I won't go smaller.

    **** hot! I'm a massive fan of those wheels.

    Go for 18" by the way. Even the wheels manic posted. They can't look bad!

    if you have 16" stock legally u can only go 2" more.. so stick to 18s, go for either shadow chrome or hyper silver, wateva design best suits the car.. I got similar ones to maniacs

    Your car looks kind of high at the back Hairy Eater... But the wheels suit that colour I reckon.

    I found these at Tempe Tyres in Sydney. I like the shiney look with black. Not sure how they would look on my car though. Price seems ok? What do people think?

    Here is the link (sorry don't know how to link to pictures):

    I did think about that... I would ring them and specify the tyre. Even if it costs more.

    Thanks for the advice though.

    Improvisze.... back height was like this when i bought it 6 months ago... even now the wheels lean in at the top and the insides of the tyres are wearing... i've just bought a full 4 piece camber-toe kit.... just have to put it in... i'm still a bit worried about to lower it.... i thought the tyres might scrape... 245/40Z R 18 DUNLOP
