New Advan Rims For My Fg F6

[timetaker]

Looks great and saved some weight as well!

I was looking at the front and rear photos of the car and I was thinking gosh,the FG makes the Expensive Daewoo equivalent look like

it was designed by a 17 year old kid.The HSV is gross while the FG has a flair of design that is both subtle and yet doesn't reveal the car's purpose

until the driver stomps on the right pedal..................but that's just my opinion.

Thanks guys, too kind....

I didn't want centre caps, plus the hub bolt on the rear sits out so a centre cap would have to bulge over it......I prefer the raw look. Tomorrow I'm freed up some time to de-rust the hub area and spray it with some high heat resistant black paint so that it doesn't rust anymore.

Next will be to progressively increase rear tyre size 285, then 295, then 305...until it hits the guard.....then get that rolled. Hopefully it'll hold 1st and 2nd at that stage haha

good choice and offset is spot on!!!!!!

agree big price no centre caps.

also was it unusual to jack the car up using for trolley jacks?

Thanks!

Here's a break down of the price......then you might think it's pretty good haha

Fronts 840/e

Rears 915/e

So 3,510 rims only.....The rest was for tyres. I couldn't fork out anymore coin for some good rubber at the same time and I had the option to fit them the day before I went on holidays for a week (meaning that I had to take whatever 275s for the rear that were lying around.......nankangs :( ) haha..So I couldn't have gone on holidays and the suspense of whether they'll fit or not would have killed me.....So I got 245 Falken 452s and 275 Nankangs......never again will I buy Nankangs hahah soooo sh*tty

And they weren't on jacks for long, the other hoist were busy....so fitted then rolled onto hoist for alignment

holy faaaarrrkking sh!t!!!! beautiful, well done great choice in wheels

who did you get the wheels through??

[XYZ]

Nice!! Really wanted these rims when I first started looking!!!!

[Seaton]

Soo nice to see some high quality Jap wheels on one of these cars, size and offset is perfect too. Looks like a real high quality car with brembos as well.

Now you just gotta do me a deal I can't refuse on the F6 wheels. Ha

[Worm]

why fit $4500 wheels and $200 tyres? Nankangs are sh*t!

[bossmang]

because he was going on holidays or something

[Gussa]

Really really nice mate. I agree with no caps. Looks the goods! I don't think I could ever spend that much on rims.... but I can't stop looking at them!

Looks great. hot looking FG.

Weights always been a factor in any wheel Ive looked at. You can definitely feel the difference. Seem a bit lost in translation fittling nankangs and falkens for that matter.

As for width... the 10 inch rear with a +35 will limit you to 285's with the guards rolled. that's it.
