hey again. There are barely any good looking rims to fit Pre AU falcons. If i get the 35mm Pre AU Spacers would that mean i can fit most modern rims to my car?

the studs are stilled spported by Alloy, as opposed to the steel there normally supported on.

Bump. Ok question is, what chances are there of them breaking with just general street use? i dont smoke the tired up very often, if at all.. i dont care about them being illegal lol. Half my mods arent legal.

Half my mods arent legal. umm... if done properly with good studs, the same odds of your wheel studs failing, if not done properly with s**t studs, same as s**t studs braking, the chunk of steel doesnt change anything its almost all up to the studs. |

there are quite a few people here running them, myself included. have had them on for over 2 years now without a drama. ive seen cars at the drags with them too.
make sure they are 35mm with 1/2" studs and nuts. i use loctite on the nuts holding the adapters to my discs, recently took the adapters off just to check them out and there hasnt been any signs movement at all, so im leaving them on. |

good ones are far from dangerous as the Porsche gt3 has them.
but they would be noticed if they where painted black or the rim covered them nicely. |
