The NB rims and tyres have gone to a better home where they will be abused like they should!

these are the replacements!
Pipeline development is to do jdm stripe up the side to cover the roo ding and .....maybe a wing on the other boot lid!

stay tuned

Noice 8) They look much better than the NB wheels on your car IMO not that thats worth anything.

17x7, tyre king @ baulkim hills, 1400

They are from Ozzytyres just cheaper when you buy them everywhere else other than ozzytyres!

Couldn't belive it!
Ozzy wanted 1400 with cheap rubber usual package deal stuff
tyreking quoted 1300!
ended up upspecing tyre so came in at same price but with up spec tyre!
and tyre king got the wheels through ozzy!

Strange world!
but I m happy!

Nice work as usual Ryan!!! Those wheels are on my desktop at home - I love them and wanted them for my SE racer but they don't do a 16. Sad really, they really are a nice rim. 8)

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
