Welcome aboard.

Not usually a fan of that style of wheel, but it suits the car well. Just need to fill in the gap between the wheel with some bigger brakes!!

awesome! +1 I've been waiting for someone to do this with a black one. You definitely need to get your hands on the VRX/RA black taillights.

Welcome to the club! Looks good!

Do you get any scrubbing with 20" wheels? Reason I ask is my dealer did a ES with 20s as a "special" and it scrubbed like hell

Thanks for the comments guys!! Yeah might see me at a cruise one day when i get a chance.
I'm from the western suburbs- Werribee area.

At the moment im happy with the look of the car, so i will probably keep it how it is for now, but u never know in the future lol
With the 20's, I haven't had any scrubbing issues at all. It gets very close to touching the rear fender on speed humps but doesn't touch. The tires are very low profile and not as wide as the rim, so i was able to lower it and not have any scrubbing.
The only problem iv had with them is that at around 90-100kmh the car is kind of bouncy and steering shakes on the freeway, which doesn't feel good. I think it could be from running the 30 profile tyres or need wider ones.
Anybody else had a similar issue?

i had an issue with my wheel shaking when on the freeways. Had to do a wheel balance. Fixed the problem but anything above 110, then it starts to shake again. Im runnin 19"s on my car and im not 100% sure but maybe its because the wheels are too tall and its throwing the camber out which is making my wheels shake.

I sound smart with that last sentence, hopefully it makes sence..?

yeh maybe need to get them rebalanced. On mine I don't think it would be a camber problem because after i installed coilovers i got a wheel alignment done and they adjusted it.
