Hey Guys,

Just wondering whats the going trend in wheels for Lines @ the mo i tried to source a set of Advan RS and i think RGII's for my line but found the to be quite expensive (altough i new they would be but damn that much!!!)

Neway im going to be selling my 18" vault savanah's soon as im looking to upgrade to 19's or 20's...

My car is a Black 95 Gts-t

dont follow trends, get what you think looks good...as long as it isnt big chromies....i f'ing HATE big chromies lol, they LOOK LIKE PLASTIC !! most do anyway, there are a FEW exceptions...

First of all good choice on getting rid of the vaults haha, those rims and any other big chromies makes the line look cheap. Going bigger then 18s would kill the ride comfort and also your wallet for tyres. I would rather go for 18s but hey its your decision, if you rekon bigger is better ther go for it mate. Check out konig unknowns on the ozzytyres site they would look nice on a black line. Weighing around 7kg per rim but heard they are quite expensive.

19's DO NOT LOOK OUT OF PLACE on R33's.

But you will loose low end torque and top end power, get about 50km less per tank, and probably loose a little handling. Comfort is the SAME as 18's provided you get the same profile, ie:235/35/19.

19's are purely just for looks, everthing else stick with 18's :) That's why i have a spare set of 17's, for track, spirited cruises and dyno days.

I would stay away from 20's!

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
