The Sa Wasteland

[scandyflick]

I fitted a new set of rims to my car about a month or so back, Lenso D1R, in Hypersilver. They aren't Japanese brand name wheels, in fact I replaced a set of genuine Volk Rays with them, but they look better than the old VR rims - 18" vs. 17" - and are fairly light weight.

was gonna buy a set of d1r's in white for the s14, but when the works showed up with such tough offsets... sorta couldnt resist, lol.

It's all a matter of personal preference/taste, but most of those examples look like absolute poo to me! Not a fan of the VIP style wheel.

haha, vip isnt a style many people are into.

cool thing about andrews new ride is that any sort of wheel from xd9's to piaa's would look freakin awesome on it. id just be inclined to go the way of vip.

Nah, especially since I am not going to absolutely slam it (in fact am only droppping it an inch all round) VIP would be a waste - and yeah I am with Matt here - imho most of the VIP wheels look like ass.

Got pics of your new wheels Matt? Are you coming to poker at Burger's next Friday night?

[Nightcrawler]

Well I am starving - so I am going to head to the kitchen to cook up a double decker 2 egg and tons of bacon plus bbq sauce sanga for lunch .... mmmmmmmm

[Nightcrawler]

hey Dave if you have nothing to do come over man .... I am home alone for the arvo - gonna lounge it in front of the footy or something.

[scandyflick]

yeah, sounds good man. gotta run out and do a few things now, but should able to drop by in an hour or so-ish.

Cool.

Gaaaaaaaaaaah I just realised that we are out of non-rotting bacon

Problem is, my car is out on North East Road getting some free advertising and the wife is out, so jumping on my tredley is the only option.

So, do I wait for Scandy to arrive to chauffer me to Woolies to get some bacon, or will my hunger outweigh my laziness and I jump on the bike (given I have already done 3km this morning when I dropped my car out to NE Rd). Feel the burn.

I am pretty hungry

[scandyflick]

lol. get on the bike dude. ill grab a 6 on the way up, then we'll bacon and have bacon sangas and refreshing brewskies.

Done deal. I will go grab a kg of bacon and start frying.

If you're going to slam it I reckon spokes will look awesome... like:

Yep, that looks nice. Classy and tough all in one.

Give me a couple of hours mate, got a few jobs out in the backyard to do - mixed in with watching Port try to keep their finals hopes alive - then I'll take some pic's out in the sun... how good is it to see the sun again!?

Nice choice on the new car too dude.

Yeah I'll be there mate. Had an impromptu game at my house on Fri night actually, 7 of our regular crew rocked up, Trent came along too. Finished $15 up.

Can't argue with that logic mate. I could have lived with some Work rims no worries at all. I had the option to go for brand name wheels and cheaper average rubber, or average wheels and good rubber, the latter option suited me best. $1550 in rubber and about $1400 odd for the rims, anodised wheel nuts, and freight.

The XD9 is a nice looking wheel, and even better yet, they are nice and light. Ugly wheels are one thing, but ugly heavy wheels are just poo fullstop. Mind you, some of the quality VIP style wheels are probably lighter than the cheap crap 'race' wheels.

do you have pics of them on 32? interested to see how much the back rims hang out the guards.

Same size wheels just the D1R's.

I was going to lower it 20mm at the rear and about the same on the front and that would of just tucked them in. But with a bit of suspension and guard work they'll fit easssssssssssssy
