I have my Avenger booked in for a service before I leave so I can make sure it is running nice and smooth for the trip down.

Are you going to try fixing the miss before you come up?

probably not....haha, im flat out this week. will just check the basics before i leave, she'l be right. pretty sure its just shitty leads, might grab a new set

Those rims look sweet but I agree those tyres are way to small. You would have to have it right down on the ground to make it work.

Should look mint with the 70 profile tyres.

Did you polish and paint those rims? Because they look much better than in the trademe pictures.

nah havnbt touched them yet. Will spend some time in the garage tonight polishing them. the rcar comes in very handy as a automatic buffer....just jack the diff up, bolt the rims on, 1st gear with a touch a choke for some revs and polish away haha

Rims look sweet! What sort of offset and width?

hunted

they are 6", offset is about 0 I think (outside edge of rim is about 80-85mm from hub face)

avenga

Yeah a bit bigger or a few inchs lower would look sweet.

Those new pictures of the rims look awesome. Quite an epic deep dish on those mags. I really like them and they are going to look so sweet when you get them all on.

Good work, Made a huge improvement.

Hillman kid

there are actually two different pairs of rims, one has the flat dish like the picture of the rim mounted on the car, and the other has a stepped lip. the stepped lip actually has more dish but it doesnt look that way. Kinda wish they were all flat dished haha, ah well, cant complain.

will go 175/70 or 185/65 and then lower the car further, should be sick

kierbear

1600, good looking wheels, its all coming together for you Hunted!
The wheels look wide for 6's don't they? How is the clearance on the outer edge of the arch?

avenga

they way the centres are shapped makes them look wider/more dish. theres plenty of clearance thankfully. dont reeeealy want to have to massgae the gaurds/lips to get them to fit. rears will be fine, not too sure on the front, will just see what happens

Seems like the wheel wells on Avengers are quite big. Look forward to seeing it on all 4 on the ground.
Carbs also look the goods. Have chucked a bit on a set on T-Me myself, will see what happens.
