Pimp, those wheels suit the car to a T. What are they called?

Mick, what springs do you have in the front of your 'Lane? I put "Cobra" superlows all round in mine last week, the back sits properly now but the front hardly dropped at all from the "lows". The rear tyres sit flush with the guards, but the front is raised.

King SL's all round mate. Mine sits a little bit above the tyres in the front too, but I do have an LPG tank in the boot which probably helps with the rear!

if you want that extra half an inch drop in the front use falcon superlows instead. they will make a fairlane sit slightly lower. for some reason falcon superlows are between fairlane superlows and ultralows. the guy from king springs told me this on the phone but couldnt tell me why its like that lol

Tried these on since nobody wants to buy them. Now I'm not going to be able to sell them :D

Thoughts? Needs tyre shine, and the rear is sitting high due to an empty tank, but you get the idea.

And heres how low it is compared to our XR6.

The world is full of cheap skates unfortunately. I'm sure if I offered them for $50 posted within AUS with a free slab of beer, there would still be hagglers :lol:

You dislike them? Nobody seems to like the other 17's either.

16" DL rims with 225/50's would be ideal, as the DF rims sorta look like hubcaps

but having said that, they do look better than the 17's as 5 spoke rims belong on 'sporty' looking cars, and multi spoke rims suit classy cars like Ghi'a Lanes etc.
