Blekkja are you meaning i should lower my van 30mm?? But doesnt that mean if i lower Maggie the tridents would'nt sit correctly as only just miss the guards already??

Im loving those slick Tridents Richie! Would you happen to still have the original centre caps too??
But I am also liking the 13x6 classic road rims, as are pretty sweet.  Do they have descent dish on them??

Have you lowered your Avenger at all Richard??

Cheers Mikey.

Yeah my Avenger is lowered. I would say it is close to how Blekkja's Avenger sits at the back if I took a photo from the same angle.

No I don't have the center caps but you can buy them from any decent mag shop for dirt cheap.

the 13x6 classic road rims look like they have a little less dish that the Tridents but it is hard to say without seeing them in person.

I do like the look of those rims. I was thinking about maybe getting a 5 spoke set instead of my steel Nascar rims. I think the Nascar rims will look badass but I don't know if they will look too plain and bland being all black.

The 15x7 and 15x8 set would run about the same cost as my steel rims. Both about $1200 for a full set.

185s should be fine no matter how low you go. even with 4 people in the back. or if you take out the springs completely.
Chill Datto, bro!

I actually really like your old rims Nikolai. I haven't seen them before and I think they look sweet.

Yeah it's just the dark-alloy... I really really don't like it! I like nice shiny alloy wheels (but not chromed as!)

Probably you could easily respray the deep parts in black and chrome the rest but I can't really be bothered. Although if they don't end up selling (not that I'm trying too hard) then I might end up doing just that to them anyway.


79estate

Sweet As, no worries.
I will take that into consideration, cheers.

How much MM have your dropped your Avenger to sit as it sits now?? Did you buy new shock absorbers and springs to get your Avenger running at the height that its running at now?

Oh Cheah, Cheah, Mean as, yeah im looking for some dish ae!!!

I think the nascar rims are mean as quiet plane, but look mint as, and make it look tough!! not this try hard gangsta stuff, ''you know what i mean'' everybody has chrome rims. All black would suit the blue and make it look real clean and smooth!!

ahh i see!! So your wanting around a grand for the tridents??

Cheers Mikey.

Not sure. It has makita racing spring (I.e cut springs) installed by the previous owner

Hell no. Nowhere near that much. With the near new Goodyear GT3 tyres maybe $600 Ono.

The tyres alone were around $125 each and they have done a few thousand miles. Still 7mm+ tread.

As for Kiera selling these modgies,

As they have the same stud pattern, but dont know the offset yet?
and as are 13x7's

Richard, you have seen my Van, Do you think Keira's modgies sitting with stretched tyres, if correct offset, would suit and sit nicely on my van, without having to flare the guards??

What do you think fellas??

Cheers Mikey. 


kierbear

you would not have to flare the guards if they are the correct offset lol
