very much win!

love it.

Teins FTW. but they dont get the rear down low enough :(

XR09 -- cut your bumpstops, the bumpstops resting on the IRS will be preloading the diff cradle.

I tore my diff cradle as a result, new diff cradle + cut bumpstops, no issues, and better handling as its not resting on bumpstops

Looks stunning dude, such an awesome wheel!

Teins sound the go - would look even better lower.

Do wheels world have stock on hand?

Is that a price with tyres or just for wheels?

They don't have 19's in stock but one of the other franchises had them in the East so they only took a week to come.

$4450 was just rims. Now that I know what fits though I'll be getting my tyres from www.tirerack.com & save a sh*tload. They cost $800 for rears & $600 for fronts but the 295 from Tirerack are $281USD. With the dollar so good they'd be pretty cheap even with freight & any duty/GST you might have to pay. Quite a few people buy off them I think so someone would probably know the freight & customs charges.

Kewl I will. They are the shorter suprepro ones. I have about 3cm before they actually hit. mmm how much though. Just thinking I don't want a spike three quaters loaded up. What is the travel length of the Tein damper ???

Lol didn't take long for all you grumpy buggers to react! :spoton:

OK here's pics :roflmbo:

Bit wide angle so it's a bit distorted but you get the idea.

All I need now is some Teins... :bowdown:

Don't mean to spoil your party... The rims look mint and will look even better when lowered...

The front tyres though... They are way under load rated for a falcon!!! Especially a ute... 89W?

Watch out with insurance man, cause this is one thing they will pick on :dontknow::beerchug:

Yeah true Worm legally they are supposed to be 93W which is all red tape the AD08s are a very strong tyre so I've got no worries in that regard. When I'm due for new ones I might put something different on the front anyway it's the straight line grip I need not so much cornering. Never had an accident or made a claim yet though so fingers crossed. If I write it off & insurance don't cover I'll start saving for a GTR instead :stirthepot:

It's actually a pity they rated the falcon so high with tyres. It seems to be based on a vehicle full of obese people each with a German shepard sitting on their lap. :dontknow:

Most track tyre manufacturers don't bother to rate their tyres high because they are getting used mainly for light Jap cars or Porsche etc. When you consider the amount of extra load they take on a track with cornering then theoretically they are well and truly underrated when used on the street.

Love your Avatar BTW I pulled up near a GTS 307 at the lights he turned onto the highway & I went straight ahead. He really gave it to it & it left me with an itch in my right foot. Wish I had've been going the same way & shown him the back end of a humble Ford lol he would've gone home in tears. :icon_ford:

I bet they have stronger sidewalls then all the sh*t that is coming into Aus and load rated @ 93+...

Achilles FFS... 93 load rated but sidewalls crack in them all the time...

Neuton??? Who the f*ck is that!

Apparently they just print what is needed for them to say on the sidewall...

Some say Traction AA Treadwear 330.. I mean WTF??? How can you get double A traction and 330 treadwear? LOL

Yeah... I have lots of HSV's seeing my car is on gas and thinking it will be slow... I had two guys in a 317 GTS today pointing at my car and laughing... That was until the lights changed... Taught those f*ckers to mess with a boosted BA!!!
